New Delhi, March 7: The final match of the T20 World Cup 2026 will see India face New Zealand on March 8, hosted at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad.

India has a remarkable record in the ICC T20 World Cup knockout stage. The team has played a total of 8 matches in this phase, winning 5 and losing 3. In the 2007 T20 World Cup, India secured the trophy by winning both the semi-final and final matches.

In the 2014 T20 World Cup, India triumphed in the semi-final but faced defeat against Sri Lanka in the final. In 2016, the West Indies eliminated India in the semi-finals, while England halted India’s journey in the semi-finals of the 2022 tournament. However, in the 2024 T20 World Cup, India claimed the title for the second time by defeating England in the semi-finals and South Africa in the final.

The Indian team reached the final of the 2026 T20 World Cup after overcoming England in the semi-finals. Notably, India has never won against New Zealand in the history of this tournament. The two teams have played 3 matches, all of which ended in victory for New Zealand. Nevertheless, in the shortest format of cricket, India has had the upper hand overall, winning 16 out of 30 T20 matches against New Zealand, while the Kiwis have won 11.

In terms of victories across all formats in ICC tournaments, India ranks second, having won 121 out of 183 matches. Australia leads this list with 122 wins from 180 matches.
