It all boils down to this over. Here. We. Go.
Ball 1 – WICKET! What a catch by Suryakumar Yadav. Get this man a Khel Ratna. Give him a Parliament seat. Get him a statue outside the BCCI office. A fulltoss, it had 6 runs written all over it, but SKY has taken a flyer.
Ball 2 – Boundary. Off the edge.
Ball 3 – 1 run. Byes.
Ball 4 – 1 run. Leg byes. Start celebrating!
Ball 5 – Wide. Okay, hold the celebrations for now!
Ball 5 – WICKET! Kagiso Rabada is caught at long-off. SKY is at it again, but this is a much simpler catch.
Ball 6 – 1 run.
India have won the World Cup.

BOWLED!
Adios, Marco Jansen! What an extraordinary delivery from Jasprit Bumrah, who threads the ball between Jansen's bat and pad as if he is passing the thread through the needle's eye. Just two runs from this over.
South Africa: 157/6 after 18 overs.
