India secured their spot in the final after a pulse-pounding 7-run victory over England at the Wankhede Stadium.

Despite a valiant century from England's Jacob Bethell, India's bowlers held their nerve in a final-over thriller.

New Zealand reached the summit clash following a dominant 9-wicket win against South Africa, powered by Finn Allen, who hammered the fastest century in T20 World Cup history off just 33 balls.

The final promises to be a massive spectacle, featuring a pre-match performance by global pop icon Ricky Martin. With 132,000 fans expected, India aims to become the first team to win the trophy on home soil.
