Jacob Duffy c Tilak Varma b Abhishek Sharma 3 (5)
OUT! Caught. Abhishek Sharma to Jacob Duffy. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, caught by Varma. India have done it! India are champions once again, successfully defending their crown to become the first team in history to retain the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. What a magnificent performance from the hosts on the grandest stage. After posting a formidable total, the Indian bowlers displayed exceptional composure under pressure, never allowing New Zealand to build sustained momentum in the chase. Jasprit Bumrah led the charge with a sensational four-wicket haul, brilliantly supported by Axar Patel, who picked up three crucial wickets. Tim Seifert did provide a brisk start for New Zealand, smashing an entertaining 52 off just 26 balls, briefly raising hopes of a fightback. However, India's disciplined bowling ensured the momentum never truly swung in New Zealand's favour. Jasprit Bumrah is the Player of the Match and Sanju Samson is the Player of the Tournament for his crucial contributions in this World Cup.
