South Africa Wins Men’s T20 World Cup Against India by a Narrow Margin of Just 12 Runs

In 2009, the Men’s T20 World Cup was held in Nottingham, and South Africa emerged victorious against India by a narrow margin of just 12 runs. This was a rematch from their previous encounter where India had won.

Both teams had made it to the second round without a loss, but India suffered a setback with three consecutive defeats, which prevented them from advancing to the Semi-Finals. South Africa had set a target of 131 runs in challenging conditions, thanks to an impressive innings from AB de Villiers who scored 63 runs off just 51 balls. India’s bowlers including Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh and Ravindra Jadeja each managed to pick up a wicket.

In their defense of the target, South Africa’s bowlers dominated the Indian batting lineup. Dale Steyn finished with figures of 2/25 while Johan Botha took three wickets. Their strong bowling performance helped South Africa secure a hard-fought victory over India by just 12 runs.
