Suryakumar Yadav-led India will look to create history on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad when they take on New Zealand in the T20 World Cup 2026 final. No team has ever successfully defended their T20 World Cup title, and India will also try to become the first team to win the trophy three times.
The defending champions are hitting their stride at the right moment, thanks largely to a red-hot Sanju Samson at the top of the order. The new Chennai Super Kings recruit has been in sensational form, scoring 97 not out and 89 in back-to-back must-win matches, a ‘virtual quarterfinal’ and semifinal against West Indies and England.
However, India face a tough challenge in Mitchell Santner’s New Zealand side, a team they have never beaten in three previous T20 World Cup meetings. The Black Caps are playing in their second final and will be looking to go one better than in 2021, when they lost to Australia in the title clash.
