India vs New Zealand: T20 World Cup final – Kiwis ready to ‘break hearts’
Al Jazeera
New Zealand are targeting a first T20 World Cup title, which would deny India their third – and in front of home crowd.
New Zealand will “not mind breaking a few hearts” in the T20 World Cup final against defending champions and hosts India, captain Mitchell Santner said on Saturday.
Santner’s side will face India on Sunday in Ahmedabad, with more than 100,000 home fans expected to fill the Narendra Modi Stadium.
New Zealand reached the 2021 final, losing to Australia, and have never won a white-ball World Cup.
“I wouldn’t mind winning a trophy,” Santner said.
He added: “It’s going to be obviously a challenge where everyone knows we’re probably not the favourites.
