India set New Zealand a daunting target of 256 in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 final at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Sanju Samson's explosive 89 off 46 balls, supported by half-centuries from Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan, propelled India to their third-highest total in World Cup history. New Zealand's chase began with an early dropped catch of Finn Allen, as Tim Seifert struck two sixes off Hardik Pandya.

The exercise prepared for crisis situations like terrorist attacks, testing coordination and response capabilities. It lasted nearly five hours with full citizen cooperation.
