IND vs SA / India-Africa final will be held on 'Pitch No. 4' of Barbados, this will be the playing XI!

IND vs SA: The final match of T20 World Cup 2024 between India and South Africa is on Barbados' pitch number 4. This Barbados pitch is very different from the one on which Team India defeated Afghanistan in their first match of Super-8 played here. During T20 World Cup 2024, 2 matches have been played on pitch number 4. But none of them were either India's or South Africa's matches. Meaning, Barbados' pitch number 4 will be a new puzzle for both the teams, to solve which it is necessary to choose the playing eleven according to their mood.

So is Team India going to change after reaching the final considering the pitch? Is there going to be a change in the playing eleven of the Indian team? In the 4 matches played in the journey from Super-8 to semi-finals, Team India captain Rohit Sharma did not even touch the team's playing eleven. Meaning, he did not make any changes in it. He was seen on the field with his 3 specialist spinners and 2 capable pacers. But, the stage of the final is big and the pitch is also new. To know whether there will be a change in the Indian playing XI in view of all this, it is first necessary to look at the 2 matches played on Barbados' pitch number 4 in T20 World Cup 2024.

What happened earlier on Barbados' 'pitch number 4'?

Barbados' pitch number 4, on which the final of T20 World Cup 2024 is to be played between India and South Africa, has previously played matches of Namibia vs Oman and Scotland vs England. In both these matches, in the match played between Namibia and Oman, 11 wickets were taken by fast bowlers while 5 wickets were taken by spinners. At the same time, the match also ended in a thrilling manner. After the score was level, this match was decided by a super over, in which Namibia won.

The match played between Scotland and England could not be completed on Barbados' pitch number 4 as it was washed away in the rain. But, before the rain became a hindrance, Scotland, batting first, had scored 90 runs in 10 overs without losing a wicket.

There can be a better contest in bat and ball

Meaning, if seen, a better contest of bat and ball can be seen on Barbados pitch number 4. Because, there is help for both batsman and bowler on this ground. Seeing this mood of pitch number 4, it does not seem that Team India is going to change for the final as well. Meaning the same team can be seen playing, which has been playing since Super-8 till now.

Team India's probable playing XI

After there is no possibility of change for the final of T20 World Cup 2024 against South Africa, the playing XI of Team India can be something like this.

Rohit Sharma (Captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel. Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh
