The stage is set for a thrilling encounter as India and South Africa face off in the final of the 2024 T20 World Cup at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. As the two teams prepare to battle it out for the coveted title, it’s interesting to revisit the history of the Man-of-the-Match award in previous T20 World Cup finals.
Over the years, the Man-of-the-Match award has consistently gone to a player from the winning side, signifying their crucial contribution to the victory. Notably, West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels stands out as the only player to have clinched the award twice, achieving this feat in both 2012 and 2016. His performances in those finals undoubtedly played a pivotal role in securing the title for the West Indies.
As the 2024 final unfolds, anticipation runs high to see who will emerge as the star performer and earn the coveted Man-of-the-Match award. Will it be a familiar name or a new hero who steals the show? Only time will tell as the two teams go head-to-head in a battle for T20 World Cup glory.
