Ind Vs Nz Live: Kishan... ... 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: Kishan Rotates Strike; India Now Just 10 Runs from Breaking World Cup Final Record
Smart cricket following the big hit! Ishan Kishan nudges Matt Henry for a quick single on the third ball of the over to get Sanju Samson back on strike. India has moved to 168/1 in 12.3 overs. The pressure is mounting on the Kiwi bowlers as India is now just 9 runs away from surpassing the 176-run mark—the highest-ever team total in a T20 World Cup final (set by India in 2024).
🇮🇳 India: 168/1 (12.3 Overs) CRR: 13.44
| Sanju Samson: | 67* (37b) | 4s: 5 | 6s: 5 |
| Ishan Kishan: | 41* (17b) | 4s: 3 | 6s: 3 |
Henry is trying to vary his pace, but with the short boundaries and the form these two are in, anything slightly off-target is being punished. Samson looks ready to launch again.
