Finn Allen Fires New Zealand into ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Final on Day 26

Posted : 05 March 2026

Day 26 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 delivered one of the tournament’s most emphatic performances as New Zealand crushed South Africa in the first semi-final to book their place in the title match.

Kiwi opener Finn Allen produced a record-breaking century, the fastest in Men’s T20 World Cup history, powering his side to a commanding nine-wicket victory and ending South Africa’s unbeaten run in the tournament.

Allen’s blistering 100 not out off just 33 balls, featuring a barrage of boundaries and sixes, anchored a dominant chase after South Africa posted 169 for 8 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. His partnership with Tim Seifert provided a perfect platform as New Zealand reached the target with more than seven overs to spare, showcasing clinical intent ahead of the final.

Elsewhere, the tournament’s knockout stage continues, with attention shifting to the remaining semi-final between India and England in Mumbai. The winners of that clash will join New Zealand in the final showdown, promising a blockbuster conclusion to the competition.

Key highlights from Day 26 included New Zealand’s dominant nine-wicket semi-final win over South Africa, Finn Allen’s record century in just 33 balls, and the upcoming India versus England semi-final. The result confirms New Zealand’s spot in the T20 World Cup final — their first appearance at this stage — fueling hopes for a maiden men’s title and setting the stage for an exciting climax.
