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).

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.
