South Africa lost two wickets in the first over of their 177-run chase, but quinton de kock and Tristan Stubbs put indian spinners kuldeep yadav, ravindra Jadeja, and Axar patel to task. Before being removed by hardik pandya, Heinrich Klassen, who amassed a quick 52, threatened to once more shatter the hearts of millions of indian supporters.
After winning the first t20 world cup in 2007, this was India's second world cup victory. Additionally, Team india had not won a significant ICC championship in 11 years, with the Champions Trophy coming in 2013.
The USA, however, lost to south africa, the West Indies, and england in the Super 8, failing to duplicate its previous triumph. But after earning a Super 8 berth, the squad was automatically qualified for the 2026 t20 World Cup.
