In the past 11 years, Team India failed to lift any ICC trophy. That was a huge setback. In those years, they appeared in a few final games but ended up being on the losing side. But this time, they nailed the game and experienced one of the most thrilling wins. In this match, India and South Africa locked horns at the Kensington Oval having an unbeaten streak behind. 

After winning the toss, India opted to bat first but received some immediate blows. Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Suryakumar Yadav were dismissed early. But after struggling with the bat throughout the season, he played the anchor role in this match. After scoring an excellent half-century, he played a responsible knock of 76 runs in 59 balls. Axar Patel played a crucial knock of 47 runs in 31 balls. In 20 overs, Team India scored 176/7. 

The second innings, when South Africa was batting was dramatic. Even after India secured some early wickets. South African batters showcased their excellence. Quinton de Kock played a responsible knock of 39 runs. Stubbs added 31 runs. Heinrich Klaasen was classic and played an interesting knock of 52 runs in 27 balls. Miller added 21 runs. India’s bowling brilliance took away the game. Hardik Pandya secured 3 wickets along with his last-over brilliance. Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah secured 2 each. Team India sealed the trophy with a victory of 7 runs.
