Ind Vs Nz Live: ... ... India Beat New Zealand by 96 Runs to Win T20 World Cup 2026 Final; Become First Team to Lift Trophy Three Times
Ind Vs Nz Live: Powerplay Progress: India 12/0 After 2 Overs; Sanju and Abhishek Steady
The first two overs of the final are complete, and India has avoided any early casualties. While Glenn Phillips tried to apply the squeeze with his off-spin, the Indian openers showed great maturity by not forcing the issue against the turning ball.
ЁЯЗоЁЯЗ│ India: 12/0 (2.0 Overs) RR: 6.00
Sanju Samson: 9 (8b) Abhishek Sharma: 3 (4b)
Phillips conceded just 5 runs in that over. The Kiwi strategy is clear: deny the Indian batters any pace to work with. However, with the field still in, Abhishek Sharma will be itching to clear the ropes soon.
