March 06, 2026
|The Citizen
Semifinal hero Finn Allen (below) said New Zealand’s thumping semifinal win over South Africa was a “huge confidence booster” ahead of going for their maiden T20 World Cup title in Sunday’s final.
-
Opener Allen hit the fastest-ever T20 World Cup century, off 33 balls, to give his side a crushing nine-wicket win over South Africa and set up a final against India or England in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
Allen blasted 10 fours and eight sixes as New Zealand raced to their victory target of 170 with 7.1 overs to spare at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens.
It was a bruising defeat for 2024 runners-up South Africa, who had been unbeaten in the tournament.
