‘It is going to be so hard to call’: Gayle on T2O World Cup 2024 final prediction
Gayle said that both teams have played some really good cricket throughout the event
West Indies batting great Chris Gayle said on Saturday that it is difficult to predict the winner of the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, which is set to take place today between India and South Africa.
Gayle said that both teams have played some really good cricket throughout the event.
“It is going to be so hard to call – with two teams who have played clean and aggressive cricket throughout the tournament," Gayle was quoted as saying by ICC.
“We have a final fit for the occasion,” he added.
Gayle, who is a two-time T20 World Cup winner, also said that lifting the trophy is the most amazing feeling in the world.
"I have so many treasured items from my career but my two rings for winning (T20) World Cups are the standouts," the former Windies batter said.
"They are like Super Bowl rings, almost physical proof that you have climbed to the top of the mountain and become champions of the world.
"When she’s older, I will give both of my rings – for being part of the West Indies sides that won the T20 World Cups in 2012 and 2016 – to my daughter and I can’t wait for that moment.
"I will tell her to keep one, and then pass the other one down to my future grandchildren, and I’m so proud to keep them in our family for generations.
"I promise the winners, it’s the most amazing feeling in the world."
It must be noted that the final of the T20 World Cup 2024 between India and South Africa today in Barbados could be affected by rain.
According to AccuWeather, there is a high chance of rain during the match at the Kensington Oval.
However, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has set aside a reserve day for the final. If the match can’t be completed on Saturday, both the teams will take the field once again on Sunday.
According to ICC's Playing Conditions for the reserve day, "every effort will be made to complete the match on the scheduled day with any necessary reduction in overs taking place and only if the minimum number of overs necessary to constitute a match cannot be bowled on the scheduled day will the match be completed on the reserve day."
The result for the match will only be achieved if a minimum of 10 overs have been completed by each side. The match will resume from the same point, where it stopped due to rain on Saturday, on the reserve day.
