India national cricket team delivered a breathtaking batting performance to put up a formidable 255/5 in 20 overs against the New Zealand national cricket team in the final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
India’s innings began in explosive fashion as openers Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson immediately put the bowlers under pressure. Samson set the tempo early with a six in the opening over, signalling India’s aggressive intent in the powerplay. Abhishek soon followed with a dazzling display, bringing up a rapid half-century in just 18 balls, the quickest fifty recorded in the tournament.
The opening pair dominated the early phase, propelling India to 92 without loss in six overs while tearing apart the New Zealand bowling attack with a flurry of boundaries. Abhishek’s fiery knock ended at 52 when he edged one behind off Rachin Ravindra, bringing an end to a highly destructive partnership.
Despite the breakthrough, Samson continued to anchor the innings with authority. The right-hander produced a superb 89 off 46 deliveries, striking the ball cleanly to all parts of the ground. He was well supported by Ishan Kishan, who added further momentum with a quickfire 54 from 24 balls, helping India surge past the 200-run mark inside 15 overs.
New Zealand managed to regain some control when Jimmy Neesham struck three times in a single over, removing Samson, Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav to briefly halt India’s charge.
