India scored 68 runs in their final 4.5 overs to secure the win, having been 70-5 in the 11th over. Varma's blistering 51 off 26 balls, followed by Reddy's unbeaten 26 off 13 balls, proved decisive. New Zealand, led by captain Mitchell Santner, struggled to contain the Indian batting lineup, particularly in the closing stages. India's bowlers, led by Arshdeep Singh, also contributed significantly to the win.",
