The India national cricket team continued their explosive batting display against the New Zealand national cricket team in the T20 final, racing to 203/2 after 15 overs. Sanju Samson led the onslaught with a sensational unbeaten 88, smashing three consecutive sixes off Rachin Ravindra and dominating the New Zealand bowling attack. Samson also registered his third consecutive fifty in knockout matches, underlining his red-hot form. Ishan Kishan supported him with aggressive hitting, including a towering straight six. Earlier, the pair combined for a massive 24-run over that left the Kiwis struggling for answers. With the run rate soaring, India looked set for a daunting total well above 250. (PC: BCCI)
