Over 8 Done: Hardik’s... ... India Beat New Zealand by 96 Runs to Win T20 World Cup 2026 Final; Become First Team to Lift Trophy Three Times
Over 8 Done: Hardik’s Wicket Maiden-ish Over! NZ 72/4
A clinical over from Hardik Pandya comes to a close. After the big wicket of Mark Chapman, he kept things extremely disciplined. Daryl Mitchell got off the mark on his very first ball with a nudge to the leg side, and Tim Seifert retained the strike for the next over with a single off the final delivery. The required rate is now a mountain to climb at 15.33, but with Mitchell and Seifert in the middle, India can't afford a single lapse in concentration.

Seifert is set, but he's losing partners. Mitchell's experience will be key here as New Zealand looks to rebuild while somehow keeping up with the scoring rate.
