The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 final between India and New Zealand promises to be one of the biggest cricket spectacles of the year. The summit clash will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, March 8.

The ICC has announced a large broadcast team for the final, featuring former captains, legendary players and experienced broadcasters across multiple languages.

India are aiming for a record third T20 World Cup title after defeating England in the semi-final in Mumbai. The Men in Blue posted a massive 253/7 before holding off a fierce chase to win by seven runs.
