Highest Successful Run Chase in Ahmedabad in T20Is: The T20 World Cup 2026 final between India and New Zealand is underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India has been invited to bat first, and with the pitch generally favoring batters, the team will aim for a total challenging enough for New Zealand to chase.
Historically, no team has successfully chased more than 177 runs in a T20I at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. South Africa holds the record, having chased 177 against the West Indies in a previous World Cup. They also chased 176 against New Zealand here.
For India to put New Zealand under serious pressure, a target of at least 180 runs would be ideal. New Zealand’s highest score at this ground is 175, and the Kiwis have lost both of their previous matches in Ahmedabad. Notably, NZ have never reached 180 runs here, with their only chase ending in a low total of 66.
