Australia beat New Zealand by 8 wickets to win the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021

[Nikhil_cric]

Why Marsh when Maxwell was bowling well

 

[IMMY69]

Ab kidhr gae slowness, it's all about intent.

The intent is there and was there before those two fours.
It's not a track where you can just do what Williamson did without getting used to the conditions

Also the second ball was a half tracker on a slow wicket which needed to be dispatched.

Kiwis not out of this yet

 

[Sarwar89]

Does the crowd really enjoy the shrieking announcer ?

To make matters worse some sri lankans have brought band baja instrument, annoying announcer and a boring batting display by kiwis.

Sorry to say

12 runs from 5 to 8 overs in not acceptable on any pitch

 

[RexRex]

Don't blame pitch, kiwis are paralysed with fear.

 

[kingusama92]

Kiwis are playing to survive.

Terrible mindset for a final when they already know being timid in a knockout game doesn't work.

 

[IMMY69]

Some people here just don't learn.
At 94-5 people were saying it was over Australia.
When Kiwis needed 70 off 35 against England they were saying it's over for them.

Maybe just watch the innings unfold before making writing off a team.

 

[emranabbas]

Congratulations Australia

 

[shokz1408]

From this point they might get 150-160, won’t be enough.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Im sorry but this is an absolute joke!!!

Pakistan is much better than NZ and deserved to be in the final.

NZ are just rolling over in a bloody final. I'm falling sleep over here.

We should have been playing today instead.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

140 might be enough ... 150 decent and 160+ a strong score. Really tacky pitch

You couldn't beat Australia.

Siefert will be the difference

Both innings were 2nd innings*

 

[shah_1]

NZ giving the match to Australia on platter

 

[IMMY69]

Kiwis just need two big overs to get back on track

 

[Joseph Gomes]

NZ shouldn't even have reached semi, extremely overachieving team with garbage batting lineup in T20

 

[IMMY69]

Hazelwood

 

[shah_1]

Australia's fielding has been atrocious

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

140 might be enough ... 150 decent and 160+ a strong score. Really tacky pitch



You couldn't beat Australia

Pakistan lost the semi final as opposed to Australia winning it.

We would have fought so much better today
than this nonsense NZ team.

It would have been a proper final!

 

[SpiritOf1903]

BIG OVER. Momentum Kiwis

Pakistan lost the semi final as opposed to Australia winning it.

We would have fought so much better today
than this nonsense NZ team.

It would have been a proper final!

Tuk Tukkers would've been 30-2 after 10

First lesson in cricket: have some patience, game ca change in a heartbeat

It's cost them

 

[IMMY69]

NZ shouldn't even have reached semi, extremely overachieving team with garbage batting lineup in T20

That's extremely disrespectful.

They bowl well and their fielding is extremely good.
They have batters too that can do the job.

They fully deserve to be in the final

 

[shah_1]

This is the intent they needed earlier

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Match losing over by Starc

 

[IMMY69]

Australia's fielding has been atrocious

First lesson in cricket: have some patience, game ca change in a heartbeat

 

[shah_1]

NZ is back in the game after this over

Starc is so rubbish these days in white-ball cricket. Free runs

 

[jattafridi]

Williamson performing in the final

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Among those who have faced at least 50 balls against spin since Super 12, no player has a lower strike rate against spin than Kane Williamson's 81.94.

 

[shah_1]

Zampa should be player of the tournament if Australia win this

What a bowler

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

That's extremely disrespectful.

They bowl well and their fielding is extremely good.
They have batters too that can do the job.

They fully deserve to be in the final

Nonsense!

We deservse to be in the final more than any team including this useless NZ side.

 

[IMMY69]

There you go.
Slowness of the wicket did for Guptil.

That "intent" Su gosh some here were harping in about cost them a wicket

 

[shah_1]

First lesson in cricket: have some patience, game ca change in a heartbeat

scoring 12 runs in four overs is not acceptable, the criticism was valid.

 

[Inswing]

How good was Pakistan against Australia. Apart from middle 4-5 overs we went good.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Nonsense!

We deservse to be in the final more than any team including this useless NZ side.

You earn it. Extremely favourable toss v India and Asif Ali bailed them out versus Afg and Kiwis so no, not by any stretchp
Silly Hasaranga includes 'qualification' wickets

 

[IMMY69]

Nonsense!

We deservse to be in the final more than any team including this useless NZ side.

No we don't.
We lost the semi final so we don't deserve it

Did that loss cost you your common sense too?

 

[Inswing]

Among those who have faced at least 50 balls against spin since Super 12, no player has a lower strike rate against spin than Kane Williamson's 81.94.

Absolutely pathetic stats. Shameful

 

[IMMY69]

How good was Pakistan against Australia. Apart from middle 4-5 overs we went good.

Pakistan certainly did their job with the bat!

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

BIG OVER. Momentum Kiwis



Tuk Tukkers would've been 30-2 after 10





It's cost them

Like how we were against this crap NZ team who we easily DEMOLISHED in the group stage? Lol

The best team of this tournament is not even playing in the final. Joke of the century.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Easily ?. It took a freakish nigh on fluke knock from Asif!

 

[Inswing]

Pakistan certainly did their job with the bat!

I was really surprised. Especially the way we treated hazelwood and starc. Just WOW

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Kane is very lucky today.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Guptill should retire immediately after the match, he has possibly singlehandedly cost NZ the world cup.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

No we don't.
We lost the semi final so we don't deserve it

Did that loss cost you your common sense too?

I'm not having this argument with you!!!!

 

[IMMY69]

I'm not having this argument with you!!!!

because there is no argument to be had

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Doesnt even seem like a final this.

It needs Pakistan!

 

[SpiritOf1903]

SHOT!! :

KANE ON THE CHARGE!!. Wow

Pakistan would have been 100- 1 at this stage

Rizwan special.

Then 111-6

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Pakistan would have been 100- 1 at this stage

Rizwan special.

 

[IMMY69]

Williamson showing his class!!!

 

[RehanG]

ICC doesn't care it was already almost sell out. Just like us with tickets, flew back to NL, thus alot of empty seats. Money is already in their pockets.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

NZ pulling a Pakistan, choking itself to death.

 

[IMMY69]

This is now a great start for the Kiwis

 

[SpiritOf1903]

170 easily gettable now. Warner needs a flyer but will get a duck

 

[Smudger]

Captain rising to the occasion

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Clutch batting by Williamson. Trying to reverse all the damage Guptill inflicted.

 

[shah_1]

Williamson giving a lesson to Babar Azam

Watch Babar

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Two drops

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

SHOT!! :

KANE ON THE CHARGE!!. Wow




Then 111-6

Quiet!!!

Pakistan was the only team with a 100% record prior to the semi final.

They made teams like NZ look like an absolute joke!

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Williamson giving a lesson to Babar Azam

Watch Babar

Not fair comparison.
Kane dropped twice

 

[Ahmed216]

Incredible batting from kane. What a player. Few posters who think he is dispensable for black caps should learn their lessons today

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

This is sooooo boring. Are we sure this is a final?

 

[IMMY69]

Clutch batting by Williamson. Trying to reverse all the damage Guptill inflicted.

Even Philips struggling to score fast... it's not just Guptil
Williamson so far has been a class apart.

 

[Saj]

Phillips needs to support Kane more than what he is at the moment.

Not rotating the strike.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Such a one sided game so far.

If only Pakistan was out there today instead of NZ.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Phillips looks like a hack.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Even Philips struggling to score fast... it's not just Guptil
Williamson so far has been a class apart.

Philips has batted far better than Guptill so far. Guptill was absolutely horrendous. Easily one of the worst knocks in the history of an ICC tournament finals.

 

[IMMY69]

Such a one sided game so far.

If only Pakistan was out there today instead of NZ.

Ok look this is getting boring now.
One troll post ok, two or three, fine. But after that it's just annoying

 

[IMMY69]

Philips has batted far better than Guptill so far. Guptill was absolutely horrendous. Easily one of the worst knocks in the history of an ICC tournament finals.

I said in earlier post, batting gets better in last 8 or 9 overs...

 

[jattafridi]

Need 180

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Ok look this is getting boring now.
One troll post ok, two or three, fine. But after that it's just annoying

Ignore me then but I wont stop making factual statements

Pakistan deserved to be in the final. How come a team who Pakistan beat is in the final but they are not? Proper joke

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Superb Kane..

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Poor keeping from Wade

 

[RexRex]

Harsha Bhogle just makes the most cringeworthy non-observations.

 

[IMMY69]

Starc being taken to the cleaners

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Century incoming!! Spectacular

 

[oatmeal]

Anything less than 190 is going to be tough to detend against the Aussies

 

[IMMY69]

Starc 0/42 off 2.4

 

[castortroy]

Hazelwood drop the world Cup?

 

[IMMY69]

Wow by Williamson

 

[ethan hunt]

Williamson putting on a masterclass.
This is how an anchor should accelerate.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Williamson changed the game singlehandedly. KIWI game to lose now.

 

[shamaan]

Williamson you absolute beauty.this will go down as the best t20 innings ever

 

[IMMY69]

180 is on
