India and South Africa are set to play final of the T20 World Cup 2024 at Kensington Oval, Barbados, on Saturday, June 29, 2024. Both teams have managed to remain unbeaten throughout the tournament so far.
The pitch at Kensington Oval is known to be balanced, with a little bit in it for both batsmen and bowlers. It offers good bounce and carry early on, which helps fast bowlers.
As the game progresses, spinners might come into play due to the pitch slowing down. Batsmen who can handle the initial overs and capitalize on the changing conditions are likely find success here.

However, weather conditions in the Caribbean are worrying. Tropical storm Beryl is gaining strength in the Atlantic and could turn into a hurricane. The Barbados Meterological Services said a hurricane watch may be issued by Saturday (June 29) morning.
"The system is expected to affect Barbados late Sunday night the 30th of June into Monday morning, July 1st 2024. As a result, there is a possibility of flash flooding and storm-force winds impacting the island during that time."
