🏏ICC World Cup T 20, 💥Final 💥: New Zealand vs Australia🏏

Winning isn’t everything, but it beats anything that comes in second.

Competing at the highest level is not about winning. It’s about preparation, courage, understanding and nurturing your team, and heart. Winning is the result.

It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.

Shadow and light are two sides of the same coin! If you reach up to final, that itself is a victory, no matter what the end result may be. 

Australia and New Zealand will face each other in the much-awaited finale of the 2021 T20 World Cup in a bid to grab their first world title in this format of international cricket.

With confident wins in their respective last games, both teams can be expected to come out all guns blazing and have the upper hand early in the final.

Looking at previous encounters between the two sides in the format, cricket fans can certainly expect a cracker of a match.

Australia vs New Zealand,  one of them could be a world champion on Sunday. Well, actually Monday in their home countries! 

This is New Zealand's third straight ICC event final, and Australia's first since they won the World Cup in 2015, but they have made it here in identical fashion.   

Finishing second in their groups, they got the better of the tournament favorites in the semi-finals through a dash in the final four overs, helped significantly by the toss.

If Australia have the extra batting depth, New Zealand have a more rounded bowling attack, the most economical of the tournament. Usually batting depth trumps rounded attacks in T20 contests, but this has been the slowest-scoring T20 World Cup of all, which gives bowling-heavy teams a chance.

New Zealand have never beaten Australia in any knockout match. 

They have played each in 17 quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals, out of which Australia have won 16. 

The one that New Zealand won wasn't a knockout but the first of the best-of-five finals in 1981, a series that New Zealand eventually lost. Australia have won all the four knockout matches between them at ICC events.

Neither captain is having a great tournament. Kane Williamson has scored 131 runs at under a run a ball, and Aaron Finch has scored at a rate of just 119 despite being an opener and getting to bat in the power play.

 Finch, though, has done much better at the toss, winning five to Williamson's two. 

We are guaranteed a first T20 world champion from the Southern Hemisphere.

Playing 11

New Zealand: Martin Guptill, Daryl Mitchell, Kane Williamson (c), Tim Seifert (wk), Glenn Phillips, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Adam Milne, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Trent Boult

Pitch and conditions

We should get a fresh pitch, which should be good for batting. Even though there wasn't much dew during the semi-final in Dubai, chasing remains the preferred option.

Two thrilling and incredible Semi-Finals run-chases and we are all set to see a new T20 World Champion today at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

None of these two sides have ever received the glory of winning a T20 World Cup title. 

The wicket at Dubai International Cricket Stadium is dry and compact, with a little extra assistance for the initial bowlers on offer. The advantage of batting second on this wicket will be the dew factor. Toss will remain an essential component once again here. Due to dew, it will be slightly harder to grip the ball towards the latter half, and so the team winning the toss is likely to bowl first here.

Average 1st innings score:

The average first innings score at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is 150. Team batting second has won 11 of the 12 times at this venue in this tournament so far, which pretty much sums up the massive advantage of winning the toss and fielding first here. Winning the toss and bowling first should be a no-brainer at this particular venue.

Record of chasing teams:

The team batting second has a substantial advantage at this venue. The team batting second won 11 of the 12 games of this tournament at this venue so far. Dew has played the role of a helping hand for the chasing sides here.

M supporting the toss😆 whoever will win toss will win final

Hope NZ wins the toss🤣😆

Final Probable Winners:

Both sides have been phenomenal at run-chases in the Semi-Finals. 

These two sides met in a Warm-up game before the commencement of this World Cup, Australia won the game by 3 wickets on the penultimate ball.

Both of these sides have numerous match-winners in their ranks, and another thrilling competition is anticipated on Sunday. Considering the team balance and head-to-head records, Australia looks favourite for their maiden ICC T20 World Cup title.

They have significant depth in batting. Their 5th bowler issue is a matter of slight concern, but overall they look a massive side. The key for the Kiwis will be getting early wickets in the power play, especially that of the man-in-form David Warner.

Here are the cases for who will win today’s T20 Final, New Zealand vs Australia 

Case1: If New Zealand bat first

First Innings score prediction: New Zealand will score 155-166

Result prediction: Australia will win the match by 6 wickets
