New Zealand posted 172 runs for four wickets in 20 overs. and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson had a smashing inning, scoring 85 runs off 48 balls.

David Warner won the Player of the Tournament while Mitchell Marsh won Player of the Match.

Road to victory in the 2021 Men’s T20 World Cup

Both teams had finished second in their groups in the Super 12 Round. Then New Zealand defeated England, while Australia defeated Pakistan, in the semi-finals.

Neither team had won a T20 World Cup before this but they have both won the ODI World Cup before. In fact, Australia is the only team to win 5 ODI World Cups. And New Zealand won the first-ever ICC World Test Championship earlier this year, in June.
