Abhishek Sharma 51 off 19 balls

Abhishek Sharma has just hammered the fastest fifty of this tournament. In a World Cup final. He smashed Duffy for 20 off the sixth over alone, lofting a six down the ground, edging boundaries through the cordon, then watching Chapman accidentally deflect a catch attempt onto the rope. Samson sits on 33 off 17 at the other end, pulling Henry for six to close a fifth over that bled 21 runs. The opening partnership stands at 92 off just 36 balls. New Zealand's bowlers have conceded 8 wides already. India's win probability reads 92.85%. The projected total is 248.
