Transcript
00:00He's at the top, he's at the non-striker's end to start off, but Arjdeep Singh is bowling
00:16from the far end with the wind aiding his swing into the right-hander and away from
00:21the left-hander.
00:22This ball, Arjdeep Singh, Reza Hendricks, a little bit of swing in, we saw the first
00:32over, Marko Jansen, ball loser, lovely shot from Reza Hendricks, the yelp from Arjdeep,
00:43a boundary of the last ball can just now, ball knocks him over, this is just with Bumrah,
00:52on the big day he's produced a perfect out-swinger and what a start, times it beautifully, it'll
01:03beat the fielder in the deep for four, how's that for a riposte, first ball from the South
01:07African captain, oh the edge, the edge, Rishabh Pant, he's got to go, Aidan Markram, it's
01:20through his hands and now Bumrah to Quintin de Kock, poor, poor, played it fine down to
01:28third man, you look back at the end of this tournament at the boundary, scored again in
01:33the high 90s there, started slower, oh he's found the gap for four, it's a good shot from
01:39Tristan Stubbs, using the crease to good effect here, this time he didn't step wide, clear,
01:48now Quintin de Kock looks to make room, they're taking on the spinner and they're looking
01:54to maximize this ball, crunched away, finds the gap, four runs, end of the power play with 39 for 2,
02:06pressure, across the line and four runs, really well played from Tristan Stubbs,
02:18tried their hand,
02:18straight down the ground, four runs from Tristan Stubbs, and again a little bit like the Quintin
02:27de Kock boundary, I reckon here he was, it goes like a skyrocket, it's over the roof,
02:40moves across the Stubbs and the gap is found by Stubbs, six runs, this is why I asked, he's trying to push Stubbs back,
02:56ball in, Aksha Patel strikes, and India pick up wicket number three,
03:05three dot balls and Klaassen counter punches, six runs, first over,
03:20and with things like that, when Heinrich Klaassen is batting the way that he likes to bat,
03:25this game is on the line right now,
03:31terrific,
03:35that is a shot filled with great skill and power from Heinrich,
03:42lovely, that's a pet shot for Quintin de Kock,
03:53goes for it again, straight to him, as soon as the field has dropped back there,
03:59Quintin de Kock has fought in many ways,
04:07will that get to the boundary, yes it does, yes it does, wonderful timing from Miller,
04:18well struck, beautifully struck,
04:22he is some player, David Miller, one has been a lot about the bowlers,
04:29terrific, terrific, because the way that he stepped deep into his crease,
04:34you thought he might have gone on side a little bit, he's not moving across his crease right now,
04:41but he does on this occasion, it's on the roof,
04:47that is a massive hit by Heinrich Klaassen,
04:49on the line, he goes again, Heinrich Klaassen flexing here at Kensington Oval,
05:05add more to that, into the wind, they've decided that they're going to take down,
05:12just to see how they've jumped ahead, India at this stage 119 for 4, South Africa 150 for 4,
05:23and that too brings up a Klaassen 50, 51 of 23 deliveries,
05:30fastest in a T20 World Cup final, it was a 50 of 22 deliveries from Quintin de Kock earlier on in
05:36the peaceful South Africa, but this has been sensational, he hasn't been able to really show
05:41his expertise so far in the tournament, but on the biggest stage he has produced so far,
05:47here's Heineck, little touch, yes, the break has done it,
05:53the loss of momentum, nicking a wide one, Klaassen goes for a strike,
05:59nicking a wide one, Klaassen goes for a strike,
06:05oh he's got him, he has done the job, he's broken through the big man,
06:10turns around and looks at the shattered stumps, here we go folks, wide, Muller gets it,
06:17and he gets plenty of it does he, no, what a catch, oh my god, I don't believe what I've
06:25just seen, athleticism at its very very best, this is quite an incredible moment folks,
06:33you won't believe what you've just seen, it is just the best piece of skill I think I've
06:39ever seen in a game of cricket, under pressure, Surya Kumari out of Kamaez,
06:44this is magnificent, presence of mind of the highest class, Muller won't believe what he sees
06:53on that chance, TV umpire to director, we have an umpire review,
07:06keep it rolling through please, keep it rolling through,
07:10that's good there, did you have any other angle from just behind please, thank you,
07:15yeah foot's inside there, foot's inside there, foot's inside there, going up,
07:30keep it rolling please, keep it rolling, yeah foot's inside there, keep it rolling,
07:36thank you, ready with my decision for the big screen,
07:54edge down to the boundary for four, 12 from four now,
07:59it's a
08:06swings in the air, this should be taken, it's Surya Kumar Yadav,
08:10India will feel they won this World Cup now,
08:18it's in the air, it's India who win the T20 World Cup after 17 years,
08:25the drought is over, NICC tournament after 13, they all go to ground, they've worked extremely
08:32hard for this, have a look at the support staff there, it means so much, unbeaten in this tournament,
08:40they've held their nerve when it mattered most and under pressure and they become the unbeaten
08:49team to hold the trophy, 50th win for Rohit Sharma's captain in T20s and the first captain to do so,
08:57I gotta say I look at Rohit Sharma when that single was taken, he went down, he laid down
09:02on the ground and he punched the turf and punched the turf and his players ran towards him,
09:08such is the pressure of being the captain of India to deliver the goods
09:12and Polly, I've got to say we've got to hear from you, it's the one that got away, I'll be honest
09:19with you and you feel that I'm sure, yeah the South Africans are immensely disappointed, credits
09:23got to go to India, they never gave up hope, we saw an unbelievable over from Hardik Pandya but
09:28it was this wicket of Hardik Larsson earlier on in the piece that made sure they gave themselves
09:34a chance, they didn't stop believing and in the back end they held their nerve, the South Africans
09:39well they'll be very disappointed, it was in their grasp, they had it done, they just needed the
09:44experience of the two batters at the crease to take them over the line, unable to do so, it was
09:48a good campaign and once again they fall short on the biggest stage and what a moment, you could see
09:54tears in his eyes, it means so much to him, Hardik Pandya under pressure, under serious pressure
10:03get those two wickets, that of Millar and of Larsson is something sensational
10:09and time to celebrate, it's been a long time but it's come and it's come on the big stage
10:15in a world cup final
10:20there's some great achievers in the game who are broken at the moment with the motion, being from
10:26India as well, Suryakumar Yadav's catch on the boundary will live long and a lot of memories
10:44right let's head downstairs to talk to player of the match
10:56you
