Today’s India vs New Zealand live streams in the 2026 T20 World Cup final features a host nation who are hot favorites to deliver in front of feverish home support in Ahmedabad. Up against them? A plucky underdog who would just love to upset the odds – get ready to watch the IND vs NZ final!

New Zealand have their own ghosts to put to rest – ICC final defeats in 2019 and 2021 – and, if Finn Allen repeats the record-breaking 33-ball century he scored to extinguish South African hopes in the semis, they could silence the Ahmedabad masses. The form of Mitch Santner's Black Caps has been patchy, but against the Proteas they showed they can pull a rabbit out of the hat. Can they do the seemingly impossible today?

Santner won the toss and chose to field first, but that only gave India the chance to put a massive total on the scoreboard. Now it’s over to Bumrah and the other Indian bowlers to make sure the NZ batters don’t beat their score of 255…
