Team India's decision to drop Axar Patel for the Super 8 clash of the T20 World Cup came under the scanner as they lost the clash by 76 runs. Ahead of the final, Surya has revealed that the all-rounder wasn't happy after he was not included in the playing XI for the game.
India and New Zealand will face each other in an ICC final for the fourth time in history. The two teams locked horns in the Champions Trophy final almost exactly a year ago and India won for the first time against them. Here's what happened in all three earlier matches:
New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner is aware that his team is not the favourites to win the T20 World Cup final. India are the favourites as they are the hosts and given their record in the lead up to the World Cup. But Santner is happy with the underdogs tag and is keen to break a few hearts.
England, West Indies, and South Africa will finally leave India after being stranded post T20 World Cup due to the West Asia war. England is scheduled to depart on Saturday, while West Indies and South Africa fly together to Johannesburg. Afterwards, the Caribbeans will travel to Antigua.
Railway will run a special train from New Delhi to Sabarmati for fans travelling to Ahmedabad to watch the T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand at Narendra Modi Stadium on March 8. Train 04062 departs at 11:45 PM with 19 AC coaches via Gurugram and Jaipur.

Jasprit Bumrah’s death over brilliance has been crucial for India, conceding just 60 runs and taking nine wickets since T20 WC 2024. After a match-turning semi-final vs England, he will be key against New Zealand openers Finn Allen and Tim Seifert in the final at Ahmedabad.
Ahead of the T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand, Varun Chakravarthy’s costly semi-final outing against England has sparked debate over India’s bowling combination, with Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj and Washington Sundar emerging as options.
The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has always been under scrutiny as it never suited Team India in the ICC events. They lost to Australia in the World Cup final in 2023 and also went down to South Africa in the Super 8 round of ongoing T20 WC. How will be the pitch for T20 WC final?
