The Men’s T20 World Cup has reached its climax as defending champions and co-hosts India take on New Zealand in the final. Both sides will come into the showpiece event full of confidence after producing stunning displays in their respective semi-finals, with the Black Caps earning a nine-wicket victory over South Africa and India winning an epic against England.

New Zealand may have lost to South Africa in the group stage and England in the Super Eight but they were equally impressive in their semi-final. Cole McConchie, Rachin Ravindra and Matt Henry all claimed two wickets apiece to limit the Proteas to 169 before a staggering stand of 117 from 55 balls between Finn Allen and Tim Seifert helped them romp to victory in just 12.5 overs.
