The nearly month-long cricket extravaganza that began with 20 teams in the United States is now reaching its finale with the final scheduled to be played in the West Indies on Saturday.
India and South Africa will face off at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday, with one team set to take home the trophy and about $2.45 million, the largest prize money in the tournament’s history, according to the ICC, while the runner-up will receive $1.28 million.
Both teams have won all the matches they have played in this tournament – India have won the T20 World Cup once, in the inaugural edition in 2007, while this is South Africa’s first time reaching the final.
“We feel and believe we can compete with the best teams in the world and win the trophy,” South Africa captain Aiden Markham said after the win over Afghanistan, “and I’m pleased that now we have that opportunity.”

“We understand what a final is like,” Sharma said. “It’s important to stay calm because that will lead to good decisions. We have been very consistent and calm and that has been the key for us.”
