The Indian cricket team has played 10 matches at Narendra Modi Stadium, winning seven and losing three. New Zealand, on the other hand, has played two matches at the venue and has lost both.

So far, six matches have been played at the Narendra Modi Stadium during 2026 T20 World Cup. Teams batting first have won three games, while sides chasing have won two. One match ended in a tie, showing that the venue has produced closely contested encounters during the tournament.

The stadium also hosted the final of the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, where India faced Australia national cricket team. Despite entering the final unbeaten, India suffered a defeat that ended their dream run and dashed the hopes of millions of fans. Because of that result, many supporters feel uneasy about returning to the same venue for another major final.

Final scheduled for March 8

The 2026 T20 World Cup final between India national cricket team and New Zealand national cricket team will take place on March 8 in Ahmedabad. India secured their place in the final after defeating England national cricket team in the semi-final, while New Zealand advanced after overcoming South Africa national cricket team.

India will be appearing in their fourth T20 World Cup final, while New Zealand have reached T20 World Cup Final for only the second time. All eyes will now be on Ahmedabad to see which team lifts the trophy and creates history.
