Key contributions came from Axar Patel with 47 runs and crucial early wickets by Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh.

The wickets of Klassen and Miller brought India back into the game, ultimately leading to South Africa falling short of the target, and India celebrated a historic and thrilling triumph after 17 years.
