The T20 Cricket World Cup Final is one of the most exciting events around. On March 8, 2026, fans of the sport are in for a treat with an India vs New Zealand match. This is the first time that these two teams have met at a World Cup Final.

There have been many valiant knocks in a T20 Cricket World Cup Final. Surprisingly, no batter has ever scored a century in a World Cup Final Match.
The highest score that a batter has knocked in a World Cup Final match was 85. Two batters have achieved this feat. Kane Williamson of New Zealand (during the 2021 Final) and Marlon Samuels of West Indies (in 2016).
However, Sanju Samson has just broken that record with an 89-run knock in the 2026 World Cup Final against New Zealand.
