- In Chennai, Tim Seifert and Finn Allen rewrote the men's T20 World Cup record with an unbeaten 175 partnership to secure a 10-wicket win on February 10, 2026.

- New Zealand raced to 78-0 in the opening powerplay as the openers attacked pace, though Haider Ali briefly stemmed the flow with eight runs from his first two overs.
