The final match of the ICC T20 World Cup is to be played between India and South Africa on Saturday. India entered the title match by defeating England, while South Africa made it to the final by defeating Afghanistan. India has reached the final of this tournament for the third time, while South Africa has reached the title match for the first time. The interesting thing is that both the teams are unbeaten in the tournament and the journey of both has been great so far.
India was on top in Group A by winning three out of four matches. India's last match of the group stage against Canada was washed out due to rain. On the other hand, South Africa had won all its matches in the group stage. Both the teams then qualified for the semi-finals by winning all their three matches in the Super Eight stage. While South Africa has won eight matches in a row, India has entered the final by winning seven matches in a row. There are some players of both the teams who are trump cards for them and their performance in the final is going to be very important for the team. Let's know what is the record of South African players against India, and which players will be the burden for India...
Suryakumar and Kuldeep Yadav have a better record against South Africa.
Suryakumar Yadav will be the biggest threat to South Africa in the final. Suryakumar's bat speaks loudly against South Africa and he has scored 343 runs in six matches against this team, which includes four half-centuries and a century. Suryakumar's strike rate during this period has been 177.72. Suryakumar is among the players along with Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina who have scored a century against South Africa in T20. On the other hand, Kuldeep has taken a total of six wickets in two T20 matches against this team in its home. The last time Kuldeep played against South Africa, he took five wickets in Johannesburg.
What has been the record of South African bowlers against India?
South African bowlers have been seen struggling against India and none of their bowlers have a better record against India. The record of the trio of Marco Jansen, Anrich Nortje, and Kagiso Rabada has also not been good against India. Rabada has taken eight wickets in 12 matches against India and his economy rate has been 7.31. Left-arm fast bowler Marco Jansen has taken two wickets in two matches and his economy rate against India has been quite expensive. Nortje has taken six wickets in nine matches against India. His best performance against this team was two wickets for 36 runs in four overs in 2022. Left-arm wrist spinner Tabrez Shamsi has taken seven wickets in 12 matches, while left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj has taken 10 wickets in 10 matches.
Miller-De Kock can create trouble.
Left-handed batsman David Miller is currently the highest run scorer for the team in T20s against India. In 20 T20 matches, Miller has scored 431 runs at a strike rate of 159.04, which includes one century and two half-centuries. Quinton de Kock also looked in form against India. He has scored 312 runs in 10 matches against this team at a strike rate of 140.54, which includes four half-centuries. Miller and de Kock can play a big role against Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel.
