Don't want to miss the best from Business Standard?
The much-anticipated day in South African cricket is here! The Proteas are in the final against India, who have not won an ICC trophy since 2013, despite their wealth of talent and leadership in world cricket. Before the game between the two nations begins, the weather is the most searched topic on Google and will continue to be a concern after the start of the match. The live toss for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 final between India and South Africa will take place at 10:30 AM local time (8 PM IST and 4:30 PM South Africa time).
The forecast for Barbados weather is not encouraging, with a weather warning for tropical storms as the Caribbean nations are in the monsoon season. However, as observed throughout the tournament, the chances of thunderstorms have often reduced closer to match time. Only a few of the 54 games played in the T20 World Cup have been washed out.
