SA falling off after a good start.

India have done enough to win. Jansen very expensive for SA

Klaasen fighting back bigtime. SA have reverse choked this final with 5 1/2 overs to go

...and another 6! He's 43 off 20

[W32]

Now gone!

[nzzp]

SA will cruise home here ... or have the biggst choke in their history (and that's saying something)

23 off 19 needed to win

[nzzp]

Holy shit Bumrah. Incredible over - ..1W now 21 off 14 needed with 4 wickets in hand

[nzzp]

Oh my word. What a catch by India - that should have been a straight 6, but ridiculous take in the outfield

[nzzp]

stick a fork in SA, they're done now unless this gets overturned....

[W32]

So close. Not really a choke. Good effort

yeah that's a choke. 23 needed off 19 in T20 with wickets in hand is a cakewalk. This loss is all mental.

[W32]

Whatever.

Agree to disagree - SA were cruising. Win predictor was in the high 90's ... but they coughed it up. 3 runs and a wicket in 7 balls is going to lose you games.

Don’t take it personally. Choice is give India credit or call SA chokers.

I’ll take the latter every single time!

I only saw the last over but that was the difference. If Miller stays in SA win regardless of what happened previously.

…..and that’s the end of that silly tournament.

T20 is dumb

Yes, yes. You’re right of course. After Klaasen they went into their shells. But India were very good.. credit to them

SA probably should have got home after that Klassens onslaught, but the impact of Bumrah on that pitch was also undeniable.
Still should have had enough though to go ass deep into Arshdeep in the last over

Waking up this morning with a hangover in Bangalore, fitting place to watch the final. Insanely emotional for the locals. Although was having more fun when SA looked to have it in the bag.

Although happy with the win some starting to see the BCCI influence being too strong, eg power over schedule impacting other teams for an ICC event

At least a contest for the final
