30 runs were required in the last five overs you had to score thirty runs from 30 balls to win this world cup there were definitely enough wickets in hand from this condition of the South Africa match they lost the world cup trophy then we will appreciate something about this team. Henrik Klaassen was at the wicket when 30 were needed in 5 overs but he was dismissed in an over-rush and that was where South Africa's collapse began. After the wicket of Henrik Klaasen, no other batsman could stand up for South Africa's victory and with one ball to go, South Africa's dream of winning the World Cup trophy slowly ended. Needing 30 runs from 30 balls, the way India came back is undoubtedly admirable.
30 runs from 30 balls is what any medium team in the world would have tried to win but despite having one of South Africa's best batsmen, David Miller, South Africa lost this match. Had South African batsman David Miller tried to bat aggressively himself in the 18th and 19th overs, the pressure would surely have eased towards the end, making it very easy for the lower order batsmen to take out the match. But in this case, why David Miller and Maharaj made the match difficult by leaving wickets is still not clear to me. Coming into the last over, David Miller's aggressive batting was fine but after being caught out, the match went under India's control.

Shubman Gill is likely to lead the Indian team in this series as captain. Now also have to understand from here, we will never see Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja in any T20 match except the Indian Premier League. I think, this team is good at beating Zimbabwe but we cannot expect this team good performances against stong teams like Australia or New Zealand.
I partially agree. Kohli, Sharma and Jadeja will still appear in ODI and Test formats and IPL too which is why they won't be missed much in the T20 format and they went out with a bang which is just what they wanted.This new team will easily defeat weak teams like Zimbabwe, Bangladesh etc, but they are strong enough to hold their own against teams like NZ, Australia etc.
Meanwhile in India, world cup win celebrations are through the roof, and if you ask me, kinda blown out of proportion.
It's something but not close to the post 2011 WC celebration parade. 
Perhaps they got impatient towards the end with no batsmen to handle the pressure when South Africa needed limited runs to win. As a result, they turn a very easy match into a very difficult match even end up losing. It is natural that the final match will be tense and breathless even in finals many times the players are under stress during the match. But those who can extricate themselves from that pressure end up grabbing the victory as the Indian bowlers did.
The final match of the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup between India and South Africa created a scenario where many fans and cricket analysts predicted that India would lose. But from there the Indian bowlers came back brilliantly even as they made a complete fool of the South African batsmen. Basically the turning point of that match was Heinrich Klaasen's dismissal. Had Heinrich stayed at the crease for a little longer, the South African team could have easily reached victory.

South Africa needed 30 runs in last 5 overs and Proteas were favourite at that moment. South Africa lost the track when they lost the wicket of Heinrich Klaasen, coming batsmen failed to face Indian bowlers. Credit goes to Indian team who kept looking for wickets despite powerful hitting by Heinrich Klaasen. South Africans have played a WC final for the very first and they went very close to victory. It was a good contest where both teams displayed good cricketing skills.
Klassen surprisingly played a fearless cricket, and it appeared he had all intentions to remove 'chokers' tag but unfortunately Miller and Jansen made sure the tag remains intact 
They just tried to take the match deep because they didn't have the luxury of 8 batters like team India so they also knew one more wickets then they could lose ths match but even though after they realized the threat of Bumrah is inevitable, he just executed what he normally do and Jansen had no clue to even defend it.This taking the game deep brought them into do or die situation and they lost the wc trophy.

Shadab Khan is a very talented player from Pakistan team and he played brilliant in this league and in this match for Colombo members team. Colombo strikers won the game by 51 runs and bod margin of runs. Colombo strikers have added new players in this season which perform well.Hopefully Kandy Falcons will play with performance in the future. Kandy Falcons performed very poorly as soon as they arrived and lost the match. Kandy Falcons needs a lot of hard work and if they want to final game than their team need a lot of changes and hard work.Colombo strikers playing this game amazingly. Kandy Falcons won the toss and choose batting first. Colombo strikers played a good match their performance was very impressive.This time they proved themselves by playing a good match. The best batting performance in the Colombo strikers shadab Khan scored 20 runs and 17 balls hitting 3 fours and 0 sixs. 
Colombo Strikers team lost this match because in this match these players did not give properly with their team mates. They were just raising hairs and not thinking about saving wickets. Such an approach proved detrimental to his team. It was important for the players to understand the team goal and strategy so that they could perform better together and work hard for the win but that was not the case.
Galle Titans and they performed excellent in this match and they gave target of 180 runs but Colombo Strikers could make only 173 runs .Shadab khan performed well in bowling and he took 4 wickets in this match by giving 21 runs in 4 overs but he was out by making 0 run. I expected good batting from Shadab because he is good jard hitter and he played as a hard hitter in Pakistani team . Fernando also took 3 wickets in this match but Colombo Strikers could not win this match . If Shadab played well the Colombo Strikers could win this match but Shadab Khan disappointed the fans and team lose the match by 7 runs.

The Indian cricket team could not reach the country after winning the World Cup due to the cyclone but they are currently staying in the country. Each player posted the World Cup trophy on their social media where millions of fans expressed their love. We saw through social media that the Prime Minister of India had a private meeting with the Indian cricket team. India will win a major tournament title after a long time. It's really great to see India celebrate this title. Earlier, Bangladesh won the World Cup title but did not celebrate like India.
Shubman Gill is likely to lead the Indian team in this series as captain. Now also have to understand from here, we will never see Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja in any T20 match except the Indian Premier League.

Basically that was the final match pressure which lead the South African team to lose. By the way South Africa played very well and they fought till end but unfortunately they lost the match. When they lost the wicket of Klaassen I said that in my heart that now the South African team will lose the match. Because he was the person who was doing a key role in South Africa team. By the way unfortunately South Africa lost the match and the trophy too. Hope best of luch for the next time.
The Indian team after winning the Trophy, will be heading to their next assignment but with a whole new team
In just two days time, we will see the new series that starts between India and Zimbabwe. We have seen none of the players from the Indian squad who played the World Cup and their B team is going to play against Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe.

The match was high scoring and close one too. I enjoyed this match and probably it is the best match of LPL so far.
Alex Hales was the first person at yesterday’s Sri Lankan Premier League who lost his wicket in the first innings, he was out by Fernando. When Fernando gave the ball onto the off side which was too slow and on that shot, Alex Hales could easily good shot or take at least a single but he touched the ball with his bat and the ball after touching went to the slip fielder side. By chance the fielder dropped it but caught it again. In other words, the ball slip from the fielder’s hand but he caught it again and like this Alex Hales was out at yesterday’s match.

10 runs would have required from the last 5 balls if it was a six. So, the pressure would have been still on Miller. I believe he won't be able to take that runs from the remaining balls. After the 15th over, Miller scored 7 runs from 9 balls. Set batsmen has nothing to do there. South Africa should have tried for the victory earlier without taking the match to the final over.

When Dwaine Pretorius got out, Galle Marvels were at 94/6. Binura Fernando and Binura Fernando were bowling really well at this point. But then the Colombo Strikers allowed Sahan Arachchige and Isuru Udana to build a 79 run 7th wicket partnership, that took them to a total of 179. Ideally Galle could have been dismissed for max 120. But that never happened and then the match slipped out of Colombo's hands. Late fireworks from Dunith Wellalage made it a close match, but in the end they lost by 7 runs.

First of all Galle Marvels played really well in yesterday match they made 179 runs and gave 180 runs target to Colombo Strikers. And Niroshan Dickwella and Isuru Udana played well and both made 102 runs collectively means 50 and 52 runs respectively. After that Colombo Strikers fought really well and tried really hard to chase the target but unfortunately then only made 172 runs and they just lost the match by 8 runs. So both teams were almost equal and fought really well. By the way match was really interesting and Congratulations to Galle Marvels for their close win.

Well, if it was a six, then for sure South Africa would not be needing 16 in the last overs as they would have the more set batsmen still on the crease and the runs required would have been a lot less in the last over, making less pressure on the south African team. That was a crucial catch and it turned the game in the favor of the Indian team.

Kenya beat Rwanda by 4 wickets in the Nairobi Sikh Union. They had given a target of 169 to Kenya. I thought it was a great effort from Rakep Patel's side to get such a good total. But at the same time, I guess they could have got some more. Because you know Patel team had a lot of wickets in hand. And as we can see from the Kenya innings, the total was not big enough. It was a very good surface to score runs. Rwanda should have capitalized on this chance to score more. Because in the end, it was not a big task for Kenya to win. Kenya was able to win the match with 14 balls left and four wickets in hand. A pretty easy win for them I would say. it is Mugabe player of the match performed really well with his 71 from 46 balls. Kundi with his blasting performance towards the end made sure that Kenya was able to win the match easily.
The scorecard either shows the steep decline of Kenya, or the rapid rise of Rwanda. Didier Ndikubwimana and Oscar Manishimwe got Rwanda to a total of 168/1, and apart from Shem Ngoche all the other Kenyan bowlers failed to take a wicket. And don't forget the fact that Kenya were the hosts for this tournament. Anyway, Kenya are leading the tournament with 5 wins from 5 matches. But all of them came against the weaker teams - Rwanda, Malawi and Zambia. And Kenya is the team that reached semi-finals of the ODI World Cup in 2003.
