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

[Human786]

220 appears to be par .
98/0 in 7

 

[Sachin fan]

What the point of playing bowlers on this track?

You will see when india bowls

 

[Ahmed216]

Not giving flight today Santner

 

[Champ_Pal]

India needs as many runs as they can. Pitch is a belter. Expect Finn Allen and Seifert to score rapidly too.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Highest total in the T20 World Cup is 260. Can easily break that today.

 

[Hikaru]

Spin isn't doing bad at all.

 

[shah9425]

Finally a tidy over

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Chak de Asian Bloc

Saray Kahaan SE Achaa Asian Bloc

Gana Mana Jana Asian Bloc

 

[dravidthewall]

This is carnage

 

[Josh]

Keep the foot on the gas paddle and score at least 10 per over

 

[batandballbattle]

santner phillips and ravindra should be given the middle stages now, hide the pacers

 

[saabir]

98 in 7 overs. Unbelievable NRR of 14 per Over

 

[Human786]

OUT

 

[IAJ]

Good over under the circumstances, but the damage is alrady done after poor captaincy and rubbish bowling, I am afraid.

 

[shah9425]

Highest total in the T20 World Cup is 260. Can easily break that today.

So far it has survived let's see

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

India has learned one thing from the Aussies: Play each match as if it's a regular match. No consideration for the occasion.

Why are you giving Aussies credit for this? There is no Aussie in the coaching staff.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Got out to spinner. Terrible ball got a wicket

 

[Champ_Pal]

Sharma gone chasing a wide one.

 

[IAJ]

Lol chasing a wide one

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rachin strikes, Abhishek gone

 

[shah9425]

Is it out?

 

[kron]

Most other teams smash santner

Like Lanka and australia

Ok not most. Aus Lanka and maybe even England smash santner

Why is it that India always struggle vs santner?

Santner Sodhi
And Harmer in tests etc

What do they do different?

 

[G0rmintAunty]

First Tulla gaan, Rachindras wide balls still working

 

[batandballbattle]

abishek gone but he has done his job

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Bcz making sense isn't a speciality around here.

Abhishek sr is high but his avg is high as well for someone who strikes at over 200 .. his challenge will be his leg side game .. he is young and he should be working on it to evolve his game if bowled more towards his pads

 

[Katwalindian]

Worst ball of match gets wicket

 

[jnaveen1980]

Given teh form of Abhishek he has done his job.

 

[JattMaula]

Brother Ravindra with the breakthrough!

It took a good human being.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Is it out?

Obvious

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abhishek sr is high but his avg is high as well for someone who strikes at over 200 .. his challenge will be his leg side game .. he is young and he should be working on it to evolve his game if bowled more towards his pads

His game against spin requires improvement since he doesn't sweep. Sweep is a must against spin.

 

[kron]

The Indian gets the Indian

 

[shah9425]

100 up already

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Abhishek Sharma out, Ishan Kishan in.
No respite for NZ.

 

[kron]

His game against spin requires improvement since he doesn't sweep. Sweep is a must against spin.

Sweep and reverse sweeps

That’s why Mayank agarwal, and some other Ranji guys should have played vs SA and nz in tests

Our neighbours would have won that series instead of being humiliated.

 

[globetrotter]

Still this match is in favor of NZ by 95% - 5%

 

[Hikaru]

Amazing out fielding.

 

[Bhaijaan]

300 hundred on the card. Watch out

Luckily, that wont happen because slogger is gone, ha ha

 

[IAJ]

Ravindra smarter than the pacers

 

[BlackstoneRock]

His game against spin requires improvement since he doesn't sweep. Sweep is a must against spin.

It is mostly due to he developed his game probably to take on pacers for power play or may be Indian team management wanted like that but whatever he will have to evolve with sweeps as well to be even greater threat

 

[Human786]

OUT

110/1 in 8

 

[IAJ]

Amazing out fielding.

Honeybadger

 

[Hikaru]

Shot of the match.. Ishan.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Kishan probably played the shot of the match.

It’s a FOUR

But the awareness, technique and class behind it bro

 

[globetrotter]

Terrific shot by Ishan.... back to back boundaries

 

[shah9425]

Classy shots

 

[Hikaru]

8 overs, 110/1.

 

[PakFan2010]

Why can't Pakistan batsmen play like this?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Ravindra smarter than the pacers

Still went for 12 runs.

 

[Katwalindian]

This guy is even more dangerous on this wicket......

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ishan Kishan!!!

Neighbours, that’s a proper batsman

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Why are they bowling wide seems to be a planned ploy to stay away from hitting arc

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Why can't Pakistan batsmen play like this?

Skill

 

[Hikaru]

Ishan is looking soo good.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Great batting from Asian XI.

Let's make Rachin Ravindras father regret turning his back on the continent.

Jeetay ga Bhai jeeta ga, Asian Bloc Jeetay ga.

 

[Katwalindian]

Why can't Pakistan batsmen play like this?

Only they can tell

 

[Bhaijaan]

India hasn’t even played well today. They just slogged their way to 111/1 in 8.2 overs

This is ridiculous and I already smell corruption

 

[Human786]

If Kiishan gets a good score , that would set up a nice platform for last 5-6 overs

 

[Kianig89]

Match is done for NZ , unfortunately they've made too many mistakes in short span of time

 

[JattMaula]

Why are they bowling wide seems to be a planned ploy to stay away from hitting arc

It definitely is. Analysts have identified a weak link.

 

[Josh]

@Bhaijaan cross the border tonight as the nations of Asian bloc are busy watching T20 WC final supporting their team

 

[globetrotter]

India found new Rohit in Sanju Samson

 

[Bhaijaan]

Is this a bilateral T20 or a tournament final?

Utterly pathetic and unprofessional behaviour from New Zealand, so far

ICC must investigate them for match fixing

 

[Ahmed216]

230-40 is chaseable.

India need 250+

 

[Human786]

Santu is bowling well ... 115/1 in 9

 

[IAJ]

Another good over by the captain

 

[Bhaijaan]

Neighbours, no matter what happens tonight, you do know the market is going to crash tomorrow and gonna bomb your portfolio of vegetarian stocks.

 

[SherWaqar]

Huh? They have simply been trashed on a phatta.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Who can bowl spin for India apart from Varun?

 

[Hikaru]

Samson just switched on in the most important games. In 40s again.

 

[PakFan2010]

Only chance New Zealand have is if Seifert and Allen score a big hundred.

 

[globetrotter]

230-40 is chaseable.

India need 250+

This match is in favor of NZ by 95% - 5%

 

[Human786]

230-40 is chaseable.

India need 250+

deck is flat & looking at how Eng fared in SF , I agree ... 240 min .

 

[IAJ]

Trundler on

 

[batandballbattle]

lol neesh in, more free runs

 

[Bhaijaan]

Edges are falling in no men’s land. What the hell is going on?

 

[globetrotter]

Only chance New Zealand have is if Seifert and Allen score a big hundred.

Babar should telephone them

 

[JattMaula]

Neighbours, no matter what happens tonight, you do know the market is going to crash tomorrow and gonna bomb your portfolio of vegetarian stocks.

I'm waiting for that brother. Liquidity is burning in my pocket. Trump will be good for my MF portfolio.

 

[shah9425]

Nice shot

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Why bowl Neesham when you have Phillips

 

[SherWaqar]

Nz the premier chokers. Useless.
