India and South Africa meet in the T20 World Cup final on Saturday - a final guaranteed to end one side's wait for a trophy.

If India win the T20 World Cup final on Saturday it will secure their first world title for 13 years - a wait too long for the sport's overwhelming superpower."We haven't achieved what we would like to on the world stage," Proteas captain Aiden Markram said."You have seen it in the close results. The will to win drives you to, by hook or by crook, get the job done.

They were beaten by the rain in 1992, Donald's run-out and Herschelle Gibbs' dropped catch in 1999 and Grant Elliott's last-over blitz in 2015."After the competition we will sit back and really appreciate what we have achieved so far as a team," Markram said."Hopefully in the years to come it can break the burden of what other people have said about us as a team.

"Just as we will move on from Ahmedabad, I'm sure South Africa will not be thinking about history and it will be a fresh day." A country of 1.4bn people, a cricket board that takes almost 40% of the game's revenue, has been made to wait. "They are the best and most balanced two teams in the tournament," former England bowler Steven Finn said.
