India win ICC T20 World Cup 2024, 13-year draught ends

NEW DELHI: India made history at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, by defeating South Africa by 7 runs to win the T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday, June 29.

Chasing a target of 177 in the final, the Proteas struggled against the bowling attack of Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh, losing wickets rapidly.

With 16 runs needed off the final 6 balls, rain began to fall as Pandya prepared to bowl. Miller smashed a full toss with all his might, but Suryakumar Yadav made the catch of his career to dismiss Miller, bringing India within reach of the trophy.
