The match will be played between these two teams at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad to capture the title. Now the question arises that who will become the champion between India or New Zealand and who will get the trophy of the 10th edition of T20 World Cup. Come, today we are going to tell you about this in detail.
India-New Zealand final in Ahmedabad
The match between India and New Zealand is going to be played at Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. This ground is full of runs. Batsmen take advantage of the fast outfield and abundant bounce on the pitch. Because of this, high scoring matches are seen here. The score of 200 has been crossed on this ground in this World Cup itself. South Africa had scored 213 runs against Canada.
The average score at Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium is around 175 to 180 in the first innings. The highest T20 score at this ground is 234, which was made by India against New Zealand on this ground itself. In such a situation, the India-New Zealand final can be expected to be high scoring.

India-New Zealand final expected to be high scoring
Toss also plays an important role on this ground. Here teams have to face problems while bowling in the second innings. Dew falls on this ground. In such a situation, the toss plays an important role. Chasing runs on this ground is considered good in the second innings.
If the Indian team bats first after winning the toss in the final of the T20 World Cup, then it would like to score the biggest score. In such a situation, his bowlers may have to face problems in the second innings. But here comes to light the reason due to which Team India can lift the trophy by defeating New Zealand.
Due to this reason Team India can lift the trophy
How strong is the batting of the Indian cricket team. More than that, India’s bowling becomes stronger when the Indian bowlers defend the runs. India’s Yorker King Jasprit Bumrah keeps the team ahead by restricting runs in the death overs. Arshdeep Singh supports him well. There is no answer to Arshdeep’s accurate yorkers either.
Bumrah and Arshdeep did something similar in difficult circumstances against England in the semi-finals. Chasing the target of 254 runs to win from India, England had reached 172 in 14 overs, from where England’s victory was clearly visible, but after this, in the last 5 overs, Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah turned the match by bowling brilliant yorkers and defended the target of 253 runs.

This was a very big score, which was successfully saved by Indian pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh in the history of T20 World Cup, but there were two such occasions when Indian bowlers have defended many small totals in the history of T20 World Cup on the basis of their excellent bowling.
India defended the smallest totals on these 2 occasions
In the T20 World Cup 2024, the match was played between India and Pakistan in New York. India successfully defended one of the lowest scores in T20 World Cup history in this match. India defended the score of 119 runs and restricted Pakistan to 113/7. In this match, the yorkers of Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh showed wonders for India.
India had saved the score of 146 against Bangladesh in ICC T20 World Cup 2016 in Bengaluru. Bangladesh needed only a few runs to win in the last over, but the Indian bowlers restricted them to 145/9 and won the match by 1 run. Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly in this match also.
