ICC T20 World Cup: The final match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 will be played between host India and New Zealand on March 8 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. A day before the title match, both the teams practiced extensively in the stadium in Ahmedabad, while the captains of both the teams carefully observed the pitch on which the final match would be played. In such a situation, everyone’s eyes are fixed on the pitch of the final match whether it will be suitable for batting or whether the bowlers will show their magic.
The final match will be played on the center pitch
The center pitch has been chosen for the final match at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This pitch is made of a mixture of black and red soil on which a lot of runs are scored and it is expected that the fast bowlers will get some help in the initial overs. Only one match has been played on this pitch in the T20 World Cup 2026, which took place four weeks ago between the teams of South Africa and Canada. In such a situation, this pitch will be completely fresh and this means that we can see another high-scoring match in the final. So far, a total of 6 matches have been played in the T20 World Cup 2026 in Ahmedabad, in which the team batting first has won 4 matches, while the team chasing the target has managed to win 2 matches.
