India vs. South Africa: Start time, squads, where to watch T20 World Cup cricket final

A nearly month-long cricket extravaganza that began in the United States with 20 teams is now at the finish line with the final scheduled to take place on Saturday in West Indies.

India and South Africa will face each other at the Kensington Oval in Barbados Saturday and one of them will take home the trophy along with almost $2.45 million, the highest-ever prize money in the tournament's history, according to the ICC. The runners-up, meanwhile, will receive $1.28 million.

Both teams have won all matches they have played in this edition. India has previously won the T20 World Cup once, during the inaugural edition in 2007. On the other hand, this is the first time that South Africa has made it to the final stage.

"We feel and we believe that we can compete with the best in the world, and we can win trophies," South Africa captain Aiden Markham had said after the team's win against Afghanistan. "And it's nice for us to now have that opportunity."
