New Delhi. Rohit Sharma and company are fully prepared for the title battle against South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024. This match is going to be held in Barbados on 29 June. A day before this match, Team India did not come to practice in the nets on Friday. Inside Sports reported that the Indian cricket team will not have a practice session on Friday. It is believed that Rohit Sharma and company did not come for the nets session to relieve fatigue.

According to reports, due to the early start of the final match on Saturday, the Indian team has canceled its practice session in Barbados to give rest to the players. According to reports quoting ICC sources, the Indian team reached Barbados on Friday morning. The fatigue of the travel was too much, due to which this decision was taken. The semi-final match against England was held in Guyana and immediately after the match, Team India flew to Barbados. Even though there is two days between the two matches on paper, in reality the final is going to start in less than 29 hours. Therefore, the players have limited time to refresh and prepare.

The Indian team registered a one-sided victory over England in the semi-final match on Thursday. The magic of Indian spinners worked wonders in this match. Kuldeep Yadav and Akshar Patel took three wickets each. On the slow wicket of Guyana, the English batsmen were seen struggling against the Indian bowlers. They did not get any chance to make a comeback in front of the huge target of 172 runs. The team captained by Jos Butler was all out for 103 runs in the 17th over itself. India won this match by 68 runs.
