The India vs. New Zealand T20 World Cup 2026 final is scheduled to be played today, Sunday, March 8, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India's record on this ground has been unremarkable. Since the 2023 World Cup, India has lost only two matches in ICC tournaments, and both defeats were on this ground. The surface at the Narendra Modi Stadium is known for providing a good batting track for batsmen, and it is likely to remain so in the big final as the pitch has more red soil than black soil, giving batsmen more opportunity to play their shots. Six matches have been played at the Narendra Modi Stadium so far in this T20 World Cup, with three teams batting first winning, while two teams have been successful in chasing the target.
Team India's Probable Playing XI: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, and Arshdeep Singh.
New Zealand's Probable Playing XI: Tim Seifert (wicketkeeper), Finn Allen, Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner (captain), Cole McConchie, Matt Henry, and Lockie Ferguson
