The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 was a truly spectacular event – and it went down in the history books for lots of reasons.
Here we take a closer look at just some of the amazing feats and records broken in West Indies and USA.
The finalists
With two thus-far unbeaten sides meeting in the final, it was clear that the champion would set a new record for most wins in a tournament. In fact, India and South Africa both finished with eight match wins – with India missing out on a possible victory due to one of their matches (against Canada in the group stage) being a washout.
India’s 176/7 in the final, however, was the highest by any team in the final of a Men’s T20 World Cup – edging past Australia’s 173/2 against New Zealand in 2021.
And at the age of 37 years and 60 days, Rohit Sharma became the oldest man to captain a side to T20 World Cup glory.
