India Vs. New Zealand T20 FInal | Finn Allen Comes in Clutch | Pakistand Fined for Finals Failure.
Michael Clarke and Gerard Middleton break down an incredible week of cricket on this episode of Beyond23, with the T20 World Cup delivering two wildly different semi-finals and setting up a blockbuster final between India and New Zealand. The discussion begins with the India vs England thriller at the Wankhede Stadium, one of the highest-scoring matches in T20 World Cup history. India posted a massive 253/7, powered by a brilliant 89 off 42 balls from Sanju Samson, along with explosive contributions from Shivam Dube, Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma. England came incredibly close to pulling off one of the greatest chases in T20 history thanks to Jacob Bethell’s stunning 105 off 48 balls, but key moments late in the innings including Bethell’s run-out and Jasprit Bumrah’s control at the death helped India hold on for a dramatic 7-run victory. Michael and Gerard analyse how India managed to survive the pressure, the significance of Samson’s innings, and whether India’s bowling concerns could become a factor heading into the final. The conversation then shifts to the other semi-final, where New Zealand completely dismantled South Africa in one of the most dominant knockout performances in recent World Cup history. Chasing around 170, the Black Caps cruised to victory in just 12.5 overs, led by an extraordinary innings from Finn Allen, who smashed 100 off just 33 balls to record the fastest century in T20 World Cup history. Allen’s brutal powerplay hitting turned the semi-final into a one-sided demolition and sent New Zealand into the final with enormous momentum. In this week’s Radar Tyres “Under the Radar” Player of the Week, the spotlight is firmly on Finn Allen. Despite producing a historic innings, Allen’s knock flew slightly under the radar due to the drama of the India vs England classic the following day. Michael and Gerard explain why his performance could prove to be one of the most important moments of the tournament. The episode finishes with a full preview of the T20 World Cup Final between India and New Zealand. Can India’s deep and explosive batting lineup continue their run after surviving a huge scare against England? Or will New Zealand’s fearless powerplay approach, led by Finn Allen, give them the edge on the biggest stage?
