    Valiant effort by SA, no choking this time but India are just that bit better than every one else arguably in all forms of the game.

    Too bad. Would have been nice to see them finally get across the line. Klaasen the big wicket that changed the game. India deserve it too though. Some incredible players in that team.

    No choke? They needed 30 from 30 with plenty of wickets in hand and somehow ended up needing 16 off the last over. Not that I pay much attention to it but the Cricinfo win predictor had them at 95% after the 16th over.

    A bottle-job, but maybe not the biggest one, they didn't have great strength down the low order and India still had a lot of ammunition. SA hit some great shots but India took wickets at crucial times as well. Reaction from De Kock when Stubbs' wicket fell, he knew the significance of it…

    Whoever lost was going to get the choke label. No doubt some cricket writers were already drafting articles on how Kohli's go slow cost them the final.

    But I think India won it. Sky doesn't catch that and it's a totally different game. Miller starts the over with a 6 and you back him to finish it or at least make it very easy for KG and Maheraj. Once gone Bumrah and Arshdeep were superb at the death. Gave nothing to hit.

    Klaasen was the big wicket. He was playing so well. A wide nothing ball after a delay he managed to nick through to Pant.
