T20 World Cup Final 2021: Australia vs New Zealand

aus vs nz t20

It’s the type of final we could only have dreamed of before the tournament started. Everyone was so busy talking about England, India and Pakistan that they forgot all about the prospects of Australia and New Zealand. Well, who’s laughing now?

Yes, Australia and New Zealand, two nations that are fierce rivals no matter what sport or code is being played, will battle it out in this year’s biggest game of cricket. But who is set to come out on top, and where can you watch all the action live?

New Zealand vs Australia: A trans-Tasman final

Aaron Finch and Kane Williamson have probably shared a cricket field more times than even they know. Australia and New Zealand are used to playing each other virtually every year in all formats of the game. But never has there been so much riding on one match between these two captains.

Both sides have come through semi-finals against teams many fancied they would suffer against. The Black Caps beat England, whilst Australia swept aside Pakistan. Both of these games were incredibly exciting, and a magnificent advert for the upcoming final.

New Zealand go into the game as slight favourites. They finished runners up in the 2019 ODI World Cup, won the inaugural World Test Championship in June and now find themselves in a T20 final. It doesn’t get much more consistent than that!

Australia, however, are kind of still finding their feet. After scraping through an opening game against South Africa and a thrashing against England, many of us were left wondering why our stars can’t turn it on in the big moments. Well, they now seem to have found a bit of rhythm, and there will be no greater motivation than overcoming New Zealand in an ICC final.

This is going to be a truly memorable game whatever happens!
