Men's T20 World Cup
Final: India beat New Zealand by 96 runs.
Ahmedabad, 8 March.
India 255-5 (20 overs; S Samson 89, I Kishan 54, A Sharma 52, S Dube 26*; J Neesham 3-46)
New Zealand 159 (19 overs; T Seifert 52, M Santner 43*; J Bumrah 4-15, A Patel 3-27)
New Zealand win the Toss and opt to field - one change for them with Jacob Duffy replacing Cole McConchie, India unchanged. A huge Poweplay from India sees Sanju Samsun and Abhishek Sharma post 92 - relief for Abhishek who has had a miserable tournament to date, but he falls to Ravindra's first ball having completed his half-century. Samson and Kishan continue to plunder runs - Lockie Ferguson's two overs costing 48 as they reach 191 at the fourteen over drinks break. Two full-tosses from Jimmy Neesham brings the wickets of both set batters and a first ball bouncer to Yadav sees him caught at deep square! New Zealand do well in overs 16-19 but Shivam Dube takes 24 off Neesham's last. A big chase for the Kiwis but it looked like being much worse at one stage. Dube drops Finn Allen in Arshdeep's opening over, premature celebrations for the wicket having started while the ball was in the air, but little damage done as he's caught at long-on in Axar Patel's first over. A second for Axar as he bowls Glenn Phillips - Powerplay over with the score 51-3. Chapman chops on to Pandya and Seifert holes out at deep mid-wicket off Chakravarthy. Game over before ten overs are on the board it seems. Bumrah back in the sixteenth to clean up the tail, yorkers accounting for Neesham and then Henry first ball. India not prepared to risk an over from Dube at this stage, throw the ball to Abhishek and he obliges with the final wicket. TV coverage immediately switches to MS Dhoni and Jay Shah hugging each other in the V-VIP area - all's well that ends well.
