![India up against resolute South Africa](https://cdn.magzter.com/1669015940/1719610162/articles/z-BkJ2Ilz1719629398941/INDIA-UP-AGAINST-RESOLUTE-SOUTH-AFRICA.jpg)
A firm grip on emotions will be crucial when the formidable Indian team, desperate to end its lengthy title drought, makes another attempt at getting the monkey off its back against a South African side, which is unfamiliar with the winning feeling, in the T20 World Cup final here on Saturday.
India’s campaign in the tournament has been remarkably similar to the one in the ODI World Cup at home last year where they breezed into the final only to be bettered by Australia on the big stage.
They are unbeaten here too and have been the best of the tournament by far. More importantly, they don’t have the battle-hardened Australia in their way of an elusive trophy this time around.
