Samson, in exceptional form, had previously scored 97 not out and 89 in his last two innings, forming an opening partnership of 98 with Abhishek Sharma, who contributed a brilliant 52 off 21 balls. Ishan Kishan also played a crucial role, scoring 54 off 25 balls to further bolster India’s total.
James Neesham briefly halted India’s momentum by taking three wickets in a single over, but Shivam Dube's explosive 26 not out off eight balls helped push India past the 250-mark.
Local heroes Jasprit Bumrah and Axar Patel wreaked havoc on New Zealand’s top order, reducing them to 52/3 and dousing any hope of a record chase, proving that India lived up to their pre-tournament expectations and made history.
