The India national cricket team made a blazing start in the T20 World Cup final against the New Zealand national cricket team, racing to 50 without loss in the first four overs. Opener Abhishek Sharma led the charge with aggressive strokeplay, smashing a six over long-off and multiple boundaries off Lockie Ferguson and Jacob Duffy. At the other end, Sanju Samson also found the boundary, including a top-edged six and a late four to keep the scoreboard moving. India had earlier started cautiously but quickly accelerated, collecting 15 runs in Duffy’s over and punishing loose deliveries. Despite a sharp fielding effort from Daryl Mitchell, New Zealand struggled to contain the early onslaught.
