India successfully defended their T20 World Cup title, thrashing New Zealand by 96 runs in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 final at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Posting 255 for 5, India dominated as New Zealand collapsed to 159 all out. Sanju Samson was Player of the Tournament for his 89, while Jasprit Bumrah's 4 for 15 earned Player of the Match.
