The T20 World Cup final between South Africa and India at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on Sunday is expected to be severely spoiled by rain. In the first semifinal, South Africa easily defeated Afghanistan by nine wickets, while India defeated the reigning champion England by 68 runs to advance to the final.
With a decisive 68-run victory over England in Guyana on Thursday, Rohit’s squad secured their spot in the T20 World Cup final. They will now fly north to Kensington Oval in Barbados to play the Proteas, one of the tournament’s only two undefeated sides.

India captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid have backed Virat Kohli to leave his woeful scores behind.
Rohit Sharma was the top scorer for Team India in the game with 57 off 39 balls, but the conditions were tough. A spell of rain eight overs into the game added to his challenge of kicking India’s innings into gear with Suryakumar Yadav. The pair added 73 in just 8.2 overs to give India a chance to aim for a competitive score.

“At one stage, we were feeling 140-150 was a good score as the game went on. Then we got some runs in the middle, me and Surya got that partnership, and then we said, ‘Okay another 25 more’. I can set a target in my mind but I don’t want to let anyone know about it. They’re all instinctive players, so I want them to go out and play freely without thinking about the par score. We know when we understand the conditions well, we will get to a good score; [and] that’s what happened, and the bowlers were fantastic,” Rohit Sharma added.
