The final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 will see New Zealand taking on Australia on Sunday, November 14 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The Kane Williamson-led team defeated England in the semi-finals to reach the ultimate finale. They have been brilliant in that tournament so far, making a strong comeback after the loss in the opening game. Tim Seifert will step up in place of injured Devon Conway, who broke his arm during the semi-final tie against England.
Daryl Mitchell and Trent Boult have been the standout performers for the team in this tournament. Overall, New Zealand has a balanced team.
Similarly, Australia too have been consistently performing well in the tournament. They won four out of their five league matches, then defeated Pakistan in the semi-finals. Opener David Warner has proved his worth, once again at the top, as he is the leading run-getter for the team, so far. In the bowling department, Adam Zampa has been the pick of the bowlers, with 12 wickets in 6 matches.
With both sides battling to win their maiden World T20 championship title, we are in for an exciting final at the Dubai International Stadium.
