"Generational Chokers vs Chokers of the Decade"- Top 10 funny memes ahead of India vs South Africa 2024 T20 World Cup final
Team India and South Africa are all set to clash in the final of the 2024 T20 World Cup on Saturday, June 29. The Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, will play host to this encounter. Both the teams have dominated the group and Super 8 phases and have reached the summit clash without losing a game.
It's been a very interesting campaign for South Africa as they won most of their matches by close margins after edging out their opponents following a tough fight. Historically, it has been the opposite as the Proteas team used to lose close matches, which resulted in their heartbreaking exits from the World Cups.
However, it all changed under the leadership of Aiden Markram this year, who is yet to lose a match as captain in the ICC tournaments. The Proteas won eight games on the trot to reach the finals.
Meanwhile, India have been dominant as well, with comfortable victories against almost all the opposition teams en route to the pinnacle clash. They secured seven victories, while one group match against Canada got washed away without a toss.
South Africa and India have squared off six times in the T20 World Cup so far. The Men in Blue have an edge with four wins, while the Proteas side has managed to end up victorious twice.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the blockbuster 2024 T20 World Cup final clash between the two top teams. Ahead of the game, they expressed their anticipation by sharing hilarious memes on X and Instagram. Here is a collection of the best memes:
"If South Africa wins the toss, they should look to bat first"- Shoaib Akhtar ahead of IND vs SA 2024 T20 World Cup final
Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar recently previewed the 2024 T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa in a video on his YouTube channel. He picked India as the favorite for the match, considering their dominant form in the tournament. He said:
"I think India deserves it and many congratulations to India. This is what I have been saying for the longest period of time that they should have won the last two World Cups, and they should win this one as well.
"If South Africa wins the toss, they should look to bat first. Then you still have a slight margin or else, they are playing their very first final, but after this performance, even South Africa will be scared. Who will score runs in front of these spinners? India should definitely win this one."
Akhtar also suggested a change in the top order for Team India ahead of the final, by adding:
"I wish Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma could open and send Virat Kohli to No. 3. India's issues will be sorted if Kohli comes down to his natural and usual position. This is not his game, he likes to take time and hit loose balls, and then he improves his strike-rate.
