Late drama unfolded in the final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup as the New Zealand national cricket team fought back against the India national cricket team with quick wickets. James Neesham dismissed the in-form Sanju Samson for 89 before removing Ishan Kishan, who had blasted 54 off 25 balls, in the same over. Moments later, Neesham struck again as Suryakumar Yadav departed for a golden duck after a diving catch by Rachin Ravindra. Despite the sudden collapse, India stayed above the 200-run mark. Tilak Varma even survived a dropped catch by Finn Allen, giving India a chance to rebuild in the final overs.
