And then there were two. After four weeks and 54 matches, it has come down to this. The champions of 2007, up against the first-time finalists, in a no-holds-barred tussle for the grandest prize in international T20 cricket. India have been an unstoppable force at the T20 World Cup, their 68-run semifinal destruction of defending champions England in Providence on Thursday the latest exhibition of their all-round strength. 

South Africa too have mounted a stirring campaign, unbeaten in eight matches. It’s in the fitness of things that the two best sides battle it out for top honours at the Kensington Oval on Saturday.
