WICKET! Hardik Pandya... ... India Beat New Zealand by 96 Runs to Win T20 World Cup 2026 Final; Become First Team to Lift Trophy Three Times

WICKET! Hardik Pandya Shatters the Stumps! Mark Chapman's Struggle Ends

Unbelievable scenes at the Narendra Modi Stadium! After a sharp bouncer that shook Mark Chapman on the previous ball, Hardik Pandya follows it up with a lightning-fast delivery that skids off the surface. Chapman, stuck in his crease and late to react, tries to defend but the ball finds the gap between bat and pad. KABOOM! The off-stump is sent cartwheeling. Pandya is off on his celebration, and New Zealand is sinking fast!

The pressure was too much for Chapman, who departs for just 3 runs. New Zealand has now lost 4 wickets for 70. Tim Seifert is standing at the non-striker's end, watching his partners fall like a deck of cards. The new batsman has a massive job to do as the required rate soars toward 15.5!
