India are set to face South Africa on Saturday in the T20 World Cup 2024 final at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. Both teams advanced to the final after dominant performances in the semi-finals, with India defeating England in a rain-hit match in Guyana and South Africa overpowering Afghanistan in Trinidad.

However, the weather could be a major factor, with rain likely to disrupt the much-anticipated clash. If necessary, the ICC has allotted a reserve day for the final, allowing the match to be completed on Sunday if it cannot be finished on Saturday.

Pitch

The Kensington Oval pitch has provided a good balance between bat and ball throughout the tournament. Teams batting first have had a slight advantage, winning three out of five completed matches at this venue during the World Cup.

The surface has offered something for both pacers and spinners, with spinners enjoying more success in terms of economy rate. In the recent semi-final between India and England, pacers had an economy rate of 9.23, while spinners managed 5.63.
