The fact that such a close competitor can show empathy for each other during competition illustrates a very human aspect of all sporting contests, with players under tremendous pressure for any type of competition on a global stage.

India Dominates the T20 World Cup 2026 Final

India produced a powerful display in front of a packed crowd in Ahmedabad.

The Kiwis struggled to maintain a required run rate.
The team was finally bowled out for 159 runs in 19 overs.

Mitchell Santner Praises Team India After the Final

However, after the match, the captain of the New Zealand cricket team, Mitchell Santner, appreciated India’s better performance on the field and praised the Indian cricket team for performing better during the tournament.

Santner claimed that despite facing various challenges during the tournament, the New Zealand cricket team tried hard to compete in the final match; however, the Indian cricket team’s better performance helped the team achieve a win.

He also claimed that playing at home during the World Cup attracts huge pressure, but the Indian cricket team performed exceptionally well in front of a passionate crowd.

“Proud of the boys to make it this far. Obviously we had some challenges throughout but at each stage we put up a good fight. Today we got outplayed by a great team in front of a great crowd. To see a big sea of blue, obviously India were home favourites. Playing a home World Cup comes with a lot of pressure. But yeah SKY and the boys should be very very proud. Different guys stood up at different stages. In the Super Eight and semi-finals we put up a good fight but tonight we were obviously outplayed.”
