India (255/5) steamroll New Zealand (159) to lift T20 World Cup 2026 trophy in Ahmedabad

[Red-Indian]

I've chosen to watch this quietly at home. Bit of superstition - worked well for me in the last T20 World Cup when it happened unplanned although I'd made arrangements to watch with a few friends.

In a way, I envy the Pakistanis. Finals are an insane level of stress after all the buildup even for a guy like me who doesn't take T20s too seriously. They usually escape this level of tension and emotions swinging wildly.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Looks like a sucky evening/night for neighbours.

The music show sucked. Ricky Martin in India? In 2026? You were only a couple and a half decades late in catching the hype. Sukhbir? lol.

Lost the toss. Anything below 220 is an assured defeat already.

Picking Abhisek and Varun in the final despite being no show in the entire tournament.

You know you will have a shoulder to cry on neighbours. I feel for your pain already.

Really Sukhbir? Thought he was doneso. Used to live across the street from us in Karama, Dubai while growing up.In the defence building block. Good to see he is still kicking, was the pioneer in making Punjabi music big, even before Daler Mehndi I think.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

All eyes on big hundred from samson... Come on

 

[batandballbattle]

Lol they've allowed them to bat first
congrats in advance India

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Beautiful stadium

 

[LegendAli]

Always was a proud Shia Pakistani of Iranian and Indian roots.

Pakistani of Iranian and Indian roots was enough, what's up with including the Shia sector?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Inside edge saved Sanju

 

[Bhaijaan]

@Bhaijaan your previous personality got me invested in the career trajectory of coochiebhai. As soon as you stop being proud, Santani, he gets dropped from the big occasion. I am devastated for him.

NZ don’t need Coochiebhai tonight. They going in with pacers and will win tonight!

Neighbours gonna be weeping

Make that 4

 

[Kroll]

NZ strongest suite is their batting, they should have backed it and batted first. They will now have the pressure of a chase in a final and against a large crowd. NZ will likely melt under this pressure and not be at their free flowing best.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistani of Iranian and Indian roots was enough, what's up with including the Shia sector?

My religion is very important for me. It means a lot.

 

[Hikaru]

4 now

 

[Devadwal]

Tentative start from India. Pressure on the nerves

 

[Deewana Mastana]

7 off the first

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Wow how that was gone for six.. Small boundaries?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Like I said, this show by neighbours was only 25 years too late.

They will catch up and will invite Himesh Reshamiya in 2035

It’s just not their day bro. Let’s not be harsh on them. Already the sadness has filled the air for them. They know it’s not their day

 

[Hikaru]

Sanju bhai planning to play 20 overs.

 

[batandballbattle]

sixer to ease the nerves

 

[Smbhayi]

Just clears the boundary but its 73 meter long..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Phillips on for the 2nd over

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow how that was gone for six.. Small boundaries?

73 meter man

 

[IAJ]

Has ICC TV collapsed under preassure?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Expect Abhishek to go after him

 

[Hikaru]

Abhishek now

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Has ICC TV collapsed under preassure?

Tamasha app is best if you are in pakistan.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Neighbours start with a below par over in the final. A close lbw shout.

Nervous start.

They are not feeling it bro.

Just saying

 

[LegendAli]

My religion is very important for me. It means a lot.

The poster had asked you if you were an Australian today and your reply was that you're a Shia, think about that.

 

[IAJ]

Tamasha app is best if you are in pakistan.

I know, but I am not in Pakistan, thanks any way

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Has ICC TV collapsed under preassure?

Yeah, not loading for me either, probably lots of vpns being used

 

[Bhaijaan]

Abhishek Poultryfarm Sharma on strike

 

[Bhaijaan]

Breaking news

Negubours feminine opener Abhishek poultryfarm Sharma off the mark.

He avoids a finals

 

[Hikaru]

Missing Sehwag days .. these tuk tukers are boring me.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Neighbours fans in the crowd already tense and nervous and silent and they haven’t even lost a wicket

Is it a cold day in Ahmedabad bro?

 

[Smbhayi]

India taking it slowly..

 

[Devadwal]

Couple of runs already saved by NZ. This is the difference between NZ and other team's.

 

[pakistani pride]

I won’t be on the forum or posting for some time today.

Our office colleagues have reserved a resto-bar to watch the final match. I will be there enjoying it with a chilled beer in the hot Bangalore summer.

I don’t mind who wins, congratulations to both teams for making it this far.

Enjoy the match, everyone!

Enjoy, sounds good!

 

[Bhaijaan]

Neighbours already off to an uncharacteristic start

12/0 in 2 overs

No aggression

Too nervous

 

[batandballbattle]

they watchfully play out phillips, think they can go after duffy though

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Harsha - "He will get there bit he needs to earn the right to get there"

What does that even mean?

 

[Smbhayi]

India waiting to movement die off..

 

[Devadwal]

Excellent bowling so far by nz

 

[Bhaijaan]

Neighbours know already it’s an odd day

Neighbours might get to 150 today.

NZ will chase it in 10 overs

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Sanju what lovely shots…

 

[batandballbattle]

Duffer is free runs
Huge blunder to drop the offie Mcconchie

 

[globetrotter]

India 27 in 3 overs....

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Shotttt down the ground

 

[Hikaru]

Abhishek almost got caught there

Glad you are not a Pakistani .. would have been the most annoying out of the bunch.

 

[Bhaijaan]

A lot of fluke slogs connecting for neighbours in the last over.

Lucky Lucly

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Good move Ferguson he could get one of these batters out

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Duffer is free runs
Huge blunder to drop the offie Mcconchie

India play spin better than fast bowling

 

[Deewana Mastana]

India in a hurry now

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Lucky four

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

NZ needs these wickets fast. India taking this away

 

[Bhaijaan]

Abhishek slogging his way out of single digit scores

130k people getting their monies worth

 

[IAJ]

Aur bowling kar pehlay, chawlou

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Wow Abhishek is on fire

 

[batandballbattle]

India play spin better than fast bowling

[globetrotter]

Great shot by AS ...6

[jeeteshssaxena]

This pitch has some bounce.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Phillips should've bowled here again

 

[batandballbattle]

Abishek finding his touch at the right time
if he's there for 5 more overs it's game over

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Abhishek slogging now

Whatever. Runs are coming.
