New Zealand won the toss and elected to field against India in the final of the Men's T20 World Cup on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India enter the final with a chance to script history, hoping to become the first team to win the tournament on home soil. India have shown impressive form throughout the tournament.
Their semifinal victory against England further demonstrated both their depth and composure. On the other hand, New Zealand are chasing a long-awaited milestone. The Black Caps have never won a major white-ball world title.
However, they have come close before and have proven to be formidable competitors in global tournaments. This is a massive opportunity for them to script history. New Zealand booked their place in the final after defeating South Africa in a gripping semifinal clash.
