South Africa are set to play against India in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 finals at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. While South Africa's batting has been their strength, India's bowling has been their backbone. Jasprit Burmah, Arshdeep Singh, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav's collective efforts helped India win most of their matches.
India and South Africa are the two unbeaten teams in the tournament who will be confident after a terrific season. Moreover, this is the first time the Proteas have qualified for an ICC event's finals; hence, this tournament will be extra special. Even though the team choked in the knockout stages of the tournaments, this time, they would want to remove the 'chokers' tag from their name.

Here's the playing 11 of South Africa in clash against India:
Top Order:
South Africa's top order comprises three best players, Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, and Aiden Markram. The players are in great form and have the potential to turn matches with their calibre. Quinton has had an amazing tournament so far while skipper Markram tortured the bowlers with his batting. If the top order plays well against India and sticks around the powerplay without throwing their wickets, they can get to a good score.
Middle Order
The backbone of the South African team is their middle over batters, Tristen Stubbs, Henrich Klaasen, David Miller, and Marco Jansen. Miller has been in terrific form as he has saved the team on multiple occasions. However, Klaasen is yet to fire up in the tournament and this match might be that one game since it's the most important match.
Bowlers
The bowlers of South Africa: Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, and Tabraiz Shamsi are some of the best players in the team. They have bowled some brilliant spells which have helped the team make good comebacks. In the finals, their contribution will be extremely crucial since India have some fantastic batters in the team.
South Africa's predicted 11:
Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram (C), Tristen Stubbs, Henrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi
