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

WICKET! Axar Patel Gets His Second! Glenn Phillips Out After a Brief Cameo

The Ahmedabad crowd is in absolute raptures! Axar Patel has outsmarted the dangerous Glenn Phillips. After being hit for a boundary earlier in the over, Axar pulled back his length and gave it a bit more air. Phillips tried to power it through the off-side but mistimed it completely, resulting in a simple catch. A massive blow for New Zealand as they lose their third wicket before the Powerplay ends!

Mark Chapman is the new man in. He has a huge task ahead of him with Tim Seifert (31* off 15) watching the wickets tumble from the other end. Axar Patel is turning the game into a spin masterclass here!
