On Sunday, Australia defeated New Zealand by eight wickets in the final at the Dubai International Stadium to win their first T20 World Cup championship. After being defeated by England in the final in Bridgetown, Barbados in 2010, the Australians cannot be denied this time because they performed well in the pursuit and completely surpassed New Zealand. Mitchell Marsh (77 not out) and David Warner are Australia’s stars, while Josh Hadswood is the best with the ball.
The Australian chased the rigid goal of 173 and completely changed New Zealand’s scoring with seven goals left. Australia started well, and Warner broke several boundaries. However, when Trent Boult sent him to pack only 5 people, Aaron Finch’s struggle at the top of the order continued. Mitchell Marsh came out to hit the ball, hit Vinci’s wicket, and immediately ran on the ground, hitting six consecutive four goals on the first three balls he faced.
The Australian all-rounder did not look back and continued to succumb to the New Zealand bowling lineup. If the swamp barrage is not enough, New Zealand bowlers must also contend with Warner, who is in good shape, who can also find boundaries at will. Warner was the first person to score in half a century. He defeated James Neesham’s 6 goals to reach this milestone.
Warner and Marsh added 92 times with just 59 balls, giving Australia complete control of the chase. Bolt returned to give New Zealand a much-needed breakthrough, knocking out dangerous Warner with 53 points, but did not stop Marsh. The lanky Australian all-around player continued to torture New Zealand bowlers and also scored for half a century. Glenn Maxwell (Glenn Maxwell) also joined his ranks, he sent a few express delivery to start, and then also tee off.
Marsh and Maxwell have been looking for the border because New Zealand could not find a way to keep the Australian batsman quiet. In the end, Maxwell finished the game against the third man with a reverse slash, which made the team into ecstasy. Earlier, Martin Guptier and Darryl Mitchell put in the ball and gave New Zealand a solid start.
Mitchell was the hero of the New Zealand team in the semifinals against Pakistan, but failed to replicate his performance and was sent off by Josh Harzwood with 11 points. Guptill and captain Kane Williamson stabilized the number of games in New Zealand, but the price of doing so was run rate.
The progress of the duo was slow, and the Australian bowlers tied things tightly together. But when Williamson hit the ball on the 21st and was knocked deep down by Hadswood, everything changed. Williamson suddenly stepped on the accelerator and swept away the Australian offense. Despite the loss of Guptill, the New Zealand captain continued to attack the Australians.
