Ahmedabad, March 8: The T20 World Cup 2026 final is underway, with Team India facing New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium. New Zealand’s fast bowler, Lockie Ferguson, has set an embarrassing record during this match. He has become the joint holder of the most expensive over bowled in a T20 World Cup final.
In his very first over, Ferguson conceded 24 runs, making him one of the most expensive bowlers in T20 World Cup final history. Prior to Ferguson, Ben Stokes had also given away 24 runs in the 2016 T20 World Cup final, while Axar Patel matched this feat in the 2024 final. During Ferguson’s over, Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson hit two fours and two sixes. Ferguson appeared to struggle with his line and length, also delivering three wides.
Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson have made history as the first pair to achieve a half-century partnership in a T20 World Cup final. The Indian team reached 50 runs in just 4 overs, setting a record for the fastest team half-century in T20 World Cup semi-finals or finals. Additionally, India scored 92 runs in the powerplay without losing a wicket, marking the highest runs in a powerplay in T20 World Cup history.
In the final, New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and opted to field first. Team India entered the match unchanged, while New Zealand made one adjustment, bringing in Jacob Duffy to replace Cole McConchie.
