Team India has secured a spot in the ICC Men’s 2026 T20 World Cup final after defeating England in the semi-final. The final match will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. Indian fans have mixed feelings about the venue due to a past painful defeat in the 2023 ODI World Cup final.
India has a strong history at the Narendra Modi Stadium, winning seven out of the ten matches played there. Notable victories include wins against teams like England, the Netherlands, South Africa, and New Zealand. In 2023, India’s massive 168-run win against New Zealand showcased their dominance at the venue.
Despite recent mixed results, including a 72-run defeat by South Africa in a T20 World Cup fixture, India remains a strong contender. As hosts and defending champions with recent bilateral victories, India is slightly favored against New Zealand. However, history shows that New Zealand has never lost to India in this tournament.
Throughout the T20 World Cup, six matches have been played at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Teams batting first have won three matches, while chasing teams have won two. One match ended in a tie, indicating closely contested games at the venue. India’s T20I record in Ahmedabad stands at seven wins and three losses. In the T20 World Cup 2026, India has won one and lost one match at the venue.
