South Africa last ICC Title win: The journey of the South African team in the T20 World Cup 2024 has been very good so far. Led by Aiden Markram, the team has made it to the final without losing any match. The Proteas team will play the final match for the first time in the World Cup of any format. Most fans must be thinking that the Proteas will take the field to win the ICC trophy for the first time. But you will be surprised to know that South Africa has won the ICC trophy before this as well.
South Africa won the ICC Knockout Trophy in 1998
In fact, in 1998, South Africa won the ICC Knockout Tournament, which is currently known as the Champions Trophy. In the final of the Knockout Trophy, South Africa faced West Indies.
In the final match played in Dhaka, Bangladesh, South Africa won the toss and decided to bowl first. The Windies team, batting first, was all out for 245 runs in 49.3 overs. Philo Wallace was the highest run scorer for West Indies. He scored 103 runs in 102 balls, which included 11 fours and 5 sixes.
On the other hand, Jacques Kallis was the most successful bowler for the Proteas team. Kallis took 5 wickets for just 30 runs in his 7.3 overs.
In the reply innings, South Africa achieved this target in 47 overs by losing 6 wickets and captured the trophy. However, after this the team could never win any ICC tournament.
At the same time, in the Knockout Trophy, Team India was successful in reaching the semi-finals. The Indian team was eliminated from the tournament after losing to West Indies by 6 wickets in the semi-finals.
Who will become the T20 champion between India and South Africa?
It is worth noting that like South Africa, Team India has also not lost any match in the current T20 World Cup. In such a situation, the morale of both the teams will be high. The Indian team last became the T20 champion in 2007. This time Team India will try to end the drought of not winning the ICC trophy for 11 years at any cost.
The Proteas team would also like to continue their strong performance and win the title. Now it remains to be seen which team wins.
