After a late surge from South Africa’s batsmen, the match looked balanced until Bumrah and Hardik Pandya led India’s bowling attack to secure a nail-biting win. The emotional victory left Indian players in tears of joy, while South African players were left disappointed with the result. It was a thrilling final that captured the essence of T20 cricket at its best.
