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

[globetrotter]

NZ to score 256 in 20 overs ..... Still match is tilted towards NZ by 95%-5%

 

[Devadwal]

Absolutely pathetic batting by Pandu. He runied the scoreboard. 270+ was easily gettable.

Not impressed with 16 to 19 over batting at all

 

[Human786]

Target 256

At least 2 bowlers will have to bowl well to defend this ... hopefully the idiotic skipper does'nt give the bowling to Dube at any stage !
btw , the biggest Indian Don ever Tadipar Shah in stadium .

 

[pillionrider]

Could've been an embarrassing collapse if not for Dubeji whom I continue to bow down and apologize to

 

[globetrotter]

Dube rescued neighbours

Their dumb captain did his best to ensure they scored below par score (240)

Reckon it’s 55-45 neighbours

means you are living in Bhutan

 

[GabbarOnCrease]

Get Fin allen......

 

[jnaveen1980]

I say 20 short . With that start Not getting 275 is a crime. Should India lose this one that will be on Pandya's mental innings

 

[Josh]

Thanks to Dube for turning momentum back for India. Was important before second innings starts

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

lockie , duffy and Ravindra Conceded 132 in 7 overs they bowled. Rest were decent

 

[Human786]

255 should still be more than enough runs in a final

Theoretically yes but let us not forget ENG's 246 last game ...

 

[GabbarOnCrease]

Shivam Dubey is most underrated in this lineup..what a player..

 

[RidiculousMan]

100+ runs defeat coming for New Zealand

 

[Buffet]

NZ just needs to go from start and keep hitting. No need to feel any pressure and play safe because game is not going to be won by playing safely here.

Go NZ.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Shivam Dubey is most underrated in this lineup..what a player..

He's the only power hitter. The rest are timers

 

[Human786]

Not good for a nuteral

Enjoy the cricket ... was crazy till end of 15th over .

 

[shah9425]

SL score of 260 survived again

 

[RidiculousMan]

NZ just needs to go from start and keep hitting. No need to feel any pressure and play safe because game is not going to be won by playing safely here.

Go NZ.

This would be a great time to call England's coach McCullum and ask for insights

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

the effective chase is 220-230 in 16 overs considering Bumrah's 4

 

[jnaveen1980]

NZ just needs to go from start and keep hitting. No need to feel any pressure and play safe because game is not going to be won by playing safely here.

Go NZ.

It helped England. Nothing to think about. If you lose so be it. ANyway you will lose with tuk tuk innings. WIll help NZ as well

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Sanju doesn't care about 100s, what a selfless player

Yes. Selfless n likeable guy in this current team

 

[Vikram1989]

Theoretically yes but let us not forget ENG's 246 last game ...

This is much bigger ground .so its like 275 or 280 in Mumbai.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Finn Allen will have a great chance to break fastest 100 today on this pitch

 

[Devadwal]

the effective chase is 220-230 in 16 overs considering Bumrah's 4

Aaj Bumrah pitega.

 

[Buffet]

It helped England. Nothing to think about. If you lose so be it. ANyway you will lose with tuk tuk innings. WIll help NZ as well

Yah, any normal chase is not going to get there. Nothing to lose, play like net and who knows that may win this game. Eng played like that becuse they had nothing to lose there as well.

 

[saabir]

It's out of reach for Newzealand. Anything below 220 would have give some hope to NZ.

 

[bk19xsa]

Both Arshdeep and Hardik will ball full.

Kiwis lost the plot in the beginning overs.

 

[dravidthewall]

Pandya is overrated in batting shouldn't have sent him up the order before dude...completely killed the momentum

 

[Hikaru]

GOAT warming up.

 

[globetrotter]

This match is tilted 90-10% in favor of NZ.. they may chase the target in 12 overs

 

[Rajdeep]

Only if Pak reached finals, this would be happening in Colombo by now instead of Ahmedabad @emranabbas

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Yah, any normal chase is not going to get there. Nothing to lose, play like net and who knows that may win this game. Eng played like that becuse they had nothing to lose there as well.

Eng lost that Game because of Great catches Axar pulled off. we always knew Bumrah was nt going to give nothing. Especially the catch of will Jacks that was definite six

 

[rhony]

Batting first is advantageous in this stadium. Santner should be regretting his decision by now. Chasing this in a final is extremely tough

 

[Asif321]

NZ NEVER bowls this bad.

You know that

Ask Rehan Ahmed

 

[IAJ]

NZ should believe they can do it. They are better than Poms I think. Powerplay will be important.

 

[saabir]

This kind of score u have to keep hitting . Bumrah 4 overs will be crucial. Not easy to keep hitting against his bowling

 

[emranabbas]

Only if Pak reached finals, this would be happening in Colombo by now instead of Ahmedabad @emranabbas

I know at least we wouldn't have seen a pitch tampered in Indians favour

 

[jnaveen1980]

If they chase down and win.. kudos to them. Worthy winners. I still think India aread 20 to 25 short given the start.

 

[Buffet]

Eng lost that Game because of Great catches Axar pulled off. we always knew Bumrah was nt going to give nothing. Especially the catch of will Jacks that was definite six

Yeh, that was a turning point.

Bumrah is the hardest bowler to hit, but he can get hit in some games as well. Any great bowler will get hit time to time. It;s after all T20 game. I won't expect Bumrah to give 6-8 runs in last overs all the time when 250 wcores are almost chased.

NZ needs to just go for this from the get go and target everyone including Bumrah.

 

[Hikaru]

Bumrah carries so much aura as a player. Almost a bowling version of Viv Richards, he is the show.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Varun C career may be over after this final lol They will target him

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Dube ji me kuch ‘ijjat’ bacha li.

Let’s see if that works

 

[Mas-LFC]

Small stadium, short boundaries, flat wicket. Records are meant to be broken.

Let go NEW ZEALAND. Time to make HISTORY.

 

[saabir]

He is modern great. It won't be easy to replace him ..he is generational talent . India,s best ever fast bowler.

 

[aboveandbeyond]

NZ should believe they can do it. They are better than Poms I think. Powerplay will be important.

Nope. We beat kiwis

 

[globetrotter]

Its walk in the park for NZ batters

 

[Kroll]

Santner and Kiwis royally fecked this up by choosing to bowl first. No point watching this now.

 

[BDfanforever]

We are not far away from seeing 300 to 350 in T20. Literally becoming fun or video game type of format.

India scored less than 250 in ODI WC itself which is mind boggling if you think about it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Small stadium, short boundaries, flat wicket. Records are meant to be broken.

That is an ignorant post lol Ahmedabad has one of the longer side boundaries. Infact 2023 final was won mainly because of that. Bowling into the pitch slow balls. Cummins even said that in interview

 

[Justcrazy]

This is not EA Cricket bro , the game is over.

Only way Kiwis can win is if India bowl and field very badly

 

[chinaman00]

This Indian team has crossed the 250 mark twice this World Cup, but Pakistan cricket team considers 150 a competitive score

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has defended 16 times in a row when they crossed 200

 

[globetrotter]

NZ peners don't want to come for bat

 

[SherWaqar]

Enjoy the cricket ... was crazy till end of 15th over .

No thanks. It was ridiculous.

 

[globetrotter]

This Indian team has crossed the 250 mark twice this World Cup, but Pakistan cricket team considers 150 a competitive score

Thrice

 

[Justcrazy]

24 of the last over , that took it far away from kiwis. Killing even the last hope.

Incredible hitting in two consecutive games that too in knock out , stunning mental strength shown.

 

[bk19xsa]

Dinesh Karthik is an annoying commentator. His voice is just not suited to commentary.

 

[globetrotter]

Pls don't challenge Pakistan team ... in next match they score 152

 

[Kianig89]

Nz are not winning this , you can bet your house on it

 

[pillionrider]

Not liking the body language from the Indians. Too happy happy. But it's the batsmen mostly. Bowlers look focused

 

[Justcrazy]

India win probability showing 89 % for India , unbelievable.

 

[Bhaijaan]

NZ let’s post 100/0 in 5 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

India score 92 in Power play , stunning.

 

[BDfanforever]

India win probability showing 89 % for India , unbelievable.

It would been 98% actually. Only reason they are giving NZ some chance is because of last game against Eng.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dinesh Karthik is an annoying commentator. His voice is just not suited to commentary.

English audience voted DK is their favorite commentator in 2021.

 

[JattMaula]

Not liking the body language from the Indians. Too happy happy. But it's the batsmen mostly. Bowlers look focused

You are projecting your nerves brother. Relax.

 

[Mas-LFC]

New Zealand needs a flying start, 70-80 off PP at least

 

[Kianig89]

The balance between bat and ball has been completely lost

 

[Mesozoic]

Captaincy to Samson after today irrespective of the result.

And SKY to be shown the door..

 

[Justcrazy]

NZ let’s post 100/0 in 5 overs

This is out of their reach , 220 could have been chased , Indian batters have given a big cushion.

 

[Kianig89]

NZ needs a miracle' baap, not gonna happen on planet earth

 

[Hikaru]

Hint of movement from Arshie bhai.

 

[globetrotter]

Cmon Pappe.... get us wicket

 

[shah9425]

Already good bowling

 

[globetrotter]

Hint of movement from Arshie bhai.

Jay Shah using remote again ....this is not cricket

 

[Human786]

dropped

 

[Hikaru]

Was the pitch really so bad, or a massive skill gap?

 

[globetrotter]

Oh dropped... but difficult chance

 

[shah9425]

Too much for kiwis

 

[IAJ]

Dube dropped an easy one

 

[Human786]

dropped

DUBE !!!
