Chicago – June 30, 2024
India became the first team to win the men’s T20 World Cup without losing a game all tournament. India won all eight matches they played in the tournament, and had one washout: the first-round game against Canada.
Both India and South Africa were undefeated going into Saturday’s match in Barbados. South Africa seemed like it had a chance of winning the game, but India thwarted the team’s attempt to exceed India’s 176 runs.
This was India’s second T20 World Cup win; the team won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007. It was also India’s first World Cup win in 13 years in any type of cricket, after a series of heartbreaking close final matches over the last 12 months.
