Five Ways Black Caps Can Win the T20 World Cup

  • On Sunday, the India national cricket team and New Zealand national cricket team will meet in the men's T20 World Cup final at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on a mixed-soil pitch combining red and black soil.
  • Local curators, working with the International Cricket Council , picked a centre-square mix of red and black soil intended to provide a `true` surface for the final.
  • Varun Chakravarthy's place is under scrutiny after conceding 64 runs in his four overs in the semi-final against England, with Kuldeep Yadav waiting, as India team management considers a change.
  • Either India claim a historic third title and lift consecutive trophies at home, or New Zealand become the seventh winners, while the mixed black-and-red surface may push India to play Mohammed Siraj.
  • The Motera surface has prior controversy dating to the 2023 ODI final, and only one prior match saw South Africa defeat Canada, while New Zealand dominated the semi-final at Eden Gardens.
