Did Rohit make a mistake by choosing to bat? This record of T20 World Cup final is very scary

New Delhi. In the final match of the T20 World Cup 2024 being played between India and South Africa in Barbados, captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. Looking at the pitch, this is being considered the right decision. This is because as the match progresses, the pitch will keep getting slower. In such a situation, India’s spinners can prove to be very lethal against South Africa on this pitch. If we look at the history of the T20 World Cup final, then how right is it for Rohit Sharma to win the toss. Let us tell you about it.

Since 2010, the team that has won the toss in the T20 World Cup final has also won the match. From this perspective, everything seems to be in favor of captain Rohit Sharma, but it is not so. There is another side of the coin, which goes in favor of South Africa and not India. If we look at the last four T20 World Cups, it is clear that the team chasing the runs has won the match and won the title.

In the final of the 2014 T20 World Cup, Sri Lanka defeated India during the run chase. Then during the 2016 T20 World Cup, West Indies repeated it. By chasing the score and defeating England, the Windies won the title. After this, in the final of the T20 World Cup 2021, the New Zealand team batted first against Australia and lost the match. The last T20 World Cup was played in the year 2022. Where, England defeated Pakistan during the run chase.
