For the 2007 winners, it is yet another final in an ICC tournament, having previously featured in the 2023 Test Championship in England and in the ODI World Cup on home soil.

For South Africa, it is their first-ever final in a men’s tournament.

Both are unbeaten in the tournament, with India having won seven matches and one wash-out while South Africa are on an eight-match winning streak.
