India will meet New Zealand in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 final on Sunday at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The defending champions advanced after a seven-run semifinal win over England, while New Zealand secured a nine-wicket victory against South Africa. New Zealand's Glen Phillips stated that the pressure is more on India ahead of the match.
The first T20 match of the five-game series between India and South Africa will take place on December 9 at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. Captain Suryakumar Yadav has confirmed Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma as openers, but remained silent on the full playing XI. The choice between spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy will depend on the pitch.
