India rode on Virat Kohli's best knock of the tournament, a 59-ball 76, and Axar Patel's 47 to put up a challenging total, before Hardik Pandya (3 for 20), Jasprit Bumrah (2 for 18) and Arshdeep Singh (2 for 20) derailed South Africa's run chase. The Proteas had at one stage moved into a winning position, requiring just a run a ball.
The wicket of Heinrich Klaasen (52 of 27 balls) by Pandya and the stunning catch of Suryakumar Yadav to dismiss David Miller (21 off 17 balls) proved to be the turning points in the match.

Rohit Sharma's age of 37 years and 60 days on the day of the final (June 29) made him the oldest captain to win a T20 World Cup. Rohit and Kohli announced their retirement from T20Is after India's victory.
