Two unbeaten teams went up against each other for the right to lift the title.
It all came down to this. After a sensational tournament, two unbeaten sides met in Barbados in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Final.
And it was won by India – by a narrow margin of just seven runs.
An attritional 76 from Virat Kohli had helped India to a monumental first-innings score of 176/7 as they sought their first crown in over a decade.
Opponents South Africa were looking for their first world title ever as they chased 177 – and came immensely close, with some fine batting from Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen.
