T20 WC: Wasn't Our Greatest Effort As We Came Up Against A Very Good Team, Admits Santner
T20 World Cup: New Zealand captain Mitch Santner admitted his side were outplayed by India in the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final but added that he remained proud of his players’ efforts despite the 96-run defeat at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.
On a mixed soil pitch, New Zealand bowlers were taken to the cleaners as India posted a massive 255/5 before the visitors were bowled out for 159 in 19 overs. Santner also thanked the Blackcaps fans back home for their well-wishes, as New Zealand again missed out on a white-ball World Cup trophy.
"It's thanks to the fans back home for following us. I might have to go to work, obviously, without a trophy, but we've obviously great support back home, and we get great support here as well.
