Match starts at 8 PM IST (10:30 AM Local)
India's all matches were day games at the T20 World Cup 2024. This was due to ICC's move to capture millions of TV audiences in India, with the matches starting at 8 PM IST. It is rare to see T20 games being played in day time but TV reach is more important for ICC when India plays. Due to day games, there is very poor turnout at the stadiums even for India matches. Hope the stadium is filled up for the final.
