India the only dominant side in tourney (back in odiwc too), this time they stayed calm and it worked wonders, something that was missing in 2023 final where they lost hope early on, though definitely SA also choked huge, there should be credit to them as well
It was a beautiful moment as they won the World Cup and had a final goodbye. Their good performance will be written in golden letters in the entire world book.
India won this match due to Rohit Sharma's captaincy and excellent performance by the bowlers. I want to give credit to Rohit Sharma. Because he bowled to the right bowler at the right time. After 15 overs, the match was completely under the control of South Africa. South Africa collected 147 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 15 overs. South Africa needed 30 runs in the last 5 overs to win. Despite having experienced batsmen like Miller, Klaasen, Jansen, South Africa team could not collect 30 runs from 30 balls in this match.
Pandya picked up the crucial wicket in the 17th over. If India could not take Kaasen's wicket then it would not have been possible for India to make a comeback in this match. Heinrich Klaasen batted very aggressively in this match. However India was very lucky it must be admitted.
