Chicago – June 29, 2024
India’s cricket team finally ended a 13-year wait for a World Cup win by defeating South Africa in a thrilling men’s T20 World Cup final. The match, held in Bridgetown, Barbados, was filled with excitement. India set a challenging target of 177 runs, the highest ever in a men’s T20 final.
South Africa kept up well, even taking the lead at times. But some excellent bowling and a stunning catch by Suryakumar Yadav turned the game in India’s favor right at the end.
The victory was a huge relief and sparked big celebrations in India, especially after a tough year when the team lost to Australia in both the ODI Cricket World Cup and the World Test Championship finals. This win brought immense joy and pride to the cricket-loving nation.
