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

[Savak]

Williamson rising to the occasion

 

[Ahmed216]

Can babar do this to Starc at this stage of the innings?

 

[shamaan]

Williamson not good enough ey ?

 

[Nasty Naz]

50 runs in 3 overs... lol

Imagine if one of our bowlers did that.

 

[RexRex]

Kane is clutch !

 

[Ab Fan]

Kane Williamson, clutch!

[Abdurmirr]

Lol and people were saying that guys like Willlamson are liabilities for T20s.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Starc has another over

 

[RamLakhan]

This effort by NZ deserves a cup already! It will be embarrasing if dew really plays against them.

 

[IAJ]

Cummins bowling well here

 

[Fahdi]

Cummins has been really good, he stood out in the semifinal as well

 

[Ab Fan]

170-75 is enough though? They need more in my opinion.

 

[IAJ]

Need Neesham out there

 

[IAJ]

170-75 is enough though? They need more in my opinion.

187

 

[IMMY69]

Kiwis need to get to 170 somehow

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Nothing score this so far.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Williamson just proved why he is one the best in the world. And he has been doing this time and time again, most recently the WTC final.

I have said it before, it's a shame NZ don't play more 3-4 test series. His test stats would be something else.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Starc been the really weak link. Otherwise NZ were 140 max

 

[AAli98]

Disgusting final. Should b Pak v eng… these two **** teams producing a test match opening session…

Batting first; u know anything under 190 will b eaten alive and kiwis happy to get 160!!!

 

[IAJ]

Good wicket for kiwis

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Phillips is so ****. The difference between a domestic bully and international cricket. Here he looks ****.

 

[IMMY69]

Williamson is on to get a hundred here

 

[Arsal_AK]

Disgusting final. Should b Pak v eng… these two **** teams producing a test match opening session…

Pakistan and England knew this as well. Remind me how much did they get?

 

[Gilly]

Disgusting final. Should b Pak v eng… these two **** teams producing a test match opening session…

And yet you are watching every ball)

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Imagine Kohli playing an inning like that in the finals of ICC World Cup.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Going by the posts here, seem like some people have just discovered the idea of a knockout tournament for the first time.

 

[Fahdi]

Slower balls have been an absolute menace to deal with here. Cummins and Hazelwood have been all cutters and slower stuff at the death

 

[Varun]

Williamson dropped on 21 is proving costly.

He's going to ton up here.

Edit: Out on 85

 

[SpiritOf1903]

:wicket

180 on the cards

 

[IMMY69]

Damn Williamson out!

So far He's been the only Kiwi whose been able to bat with a high strike rate

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Thats what I've been saying bro

Pakistan was the best team in the tournament

They beat NZ with ease but NZ are in the final and Pakistan are not. Such a joke.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Great knock but gonna be 20 short

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

OUT. One of the greatest T20 knocks of all time by Williamson. This man proves many of us wrong again.

 

[IMMY69]

Imagine Kohli playing an inning like that in the finals of ICC World Cup.

A 200 foot statue would be erected in Mumbai

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It seems they are going to score around 170 just like Pakistan. Fielding and catching will make a difference here.

 

[Ab Fan]

187

Not gonna happen now.

 

[therealAB]

Thats what I've been saying bro

Pakistan was the best team in the tournament

Should've stood up in the semi then

 

[Fahdi]

3-16 in a final. Hazelwood has killed hopes of getting to 180 I reckon

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Hazelwood finally rewarded.. Kane luck ended

 

[Ab Fan]

Imaging Bumrah producing a spell of 16 runs with 3 wickets in 4 overs in WT20 Final.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

It seems they are going to score around 170 just like Pakistan. Fielding and catching will make a difference here.

Doubt NZ have got two weak links like Hasan and shouldn't have a bad over like SSA

NEESHAM gonna pulverise Starc

 

[Ahmed216]

Slower balls have been an absolute menace to deal with here. Cummins and Hazelwood have been all cutters and slower stuff at the death

It changes in the second innings when slower ones do not grip on the surface

 

[Cover Drive Six]

It seems they are going to score around 170 just like Pakistan. Fielding and catching will make a difference here.

Horrible fielding by Aus
Wade himself dropped 3 catches

 

[Pollack]

This effort by NZ deserves a cup already! It will be embarrasing if dew really plays against them.

What effort by NZ? It was a one man show.

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Pakistan beat NZ with ease in which world?

 

[shah_1]

Bowl full and you will go for runs

You bowl into the pitch on good length it is more difficult to score runs.

 

[IMMY69]

Neesham coming to the party

 

[castortroy]

Doubt NZ have got two weak links like Hasan and shouldn't have a bad over like SSA

Aussies will attack Neeham

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Imaging Bumrah producing a spell of 16 runs with 3 wickets in 4 overs in WT20 Final.

Only in dreams.
Bumrah is proper IPL bully.

 

[shaz619]

170-175 + the shrewd captaincy of KW should see the Kiwis home, fielding is not even a doubt when it comes to the professionalism of the black caps with their safe pair of hands

 

[shah_1]

Bowl full and you will go for runs


You bowl into the pitch on good length it is more difficult to score runs.

Lesson for Shaheen, Hasan Ali and Starc as well.

 

[Savak]

Cummins slower deliveries have been difficult to dispatch

 

[SpiritOf1903]

WHY STARC??? Head's gone

Aussies will attack Neeham

He's a canny bowler

Highest total in final..hmm

 

[IMMY69]

Lesson for Shaheen, Hasan Ali and Starc as well.

That's a given on a slow wicket
Cutters and slow ball bouncers.
Rauf did it well

Starc is hit the wicket and pitch up bowler and has paid the pirice for it

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Pathetic score by NZ

 

[shah_1]

It has been one man show

Didn't get the required support

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies would be happier side now

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

HAHAHAHA Congratulations Australia on your world cup victory.

 

[IMMY69]

172

This is a defendable total

 

[castortroy]

Aussies will chase it down

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Early wickets for Southee and Boult Warner duck and their spinners to choke

 

[Justcrazy]

173 is the target

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis do have chance , they need to get early wickets

 

[Fahdi]

Have to feel they are 10 runs short here like Pakistan were, but still a decent total

 

[jattafridi]

Congrats Australia

Can’t defend this total

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good total on the board similar to Pakistan.

Death bowling was the difference in Pakistan losing it and I think that's what it will come down to for NZ.

 

[Savak]

That's a given on a slow wicket
Cutters and slow ball bouncers.
Rauf did it well

Starc is hit the wicket and pitch up bowler and has paid the pirice for it

Cutters become ineffective with due at the end of the second innings

 

[shokz1408]

I’m expecting Aus to chase it down in 19 overs

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Great comeback from NZ. Considering the occasion the total is 180+. 50-50 game for sure.

 

[Buffet]

Decent total, but NZ should have gotten more runs given one of the batsmen played 80 in 40 oddballs innings. The rest of them did not play well.

 

[drubwrubnat]

Game nicely poised.
Aus look favourites but NZ will field & bowl with full intensity.
Rooting for NZ

 

[Justcrazy]

This will be a great game if Kiwi bowlers get it right

 

[Justcrazy]

I want kiwis to win here

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Steve Smith has to perform today..
Come on Smith..

 

[VForVendetta]

Starc seems to be almost finished, which is really sad btw. Such a fantastic talent.He has been pretty rubbish in bilateral's for quite a while but at least Aussis could count on him at ICC events. Looking at the way he bowled(chocked) at the three biggest matches of Australia, it really proves; him being a magical lamb genie in ICC events are also coming to an end. It looks even more pathetic when he will look at the way his fast bowling comrades have bowled. They were absolutely fabolous & clearly the difference maker between 170 & 190. Great comeback from Josh after that epic beating he took in the semis & Cummins just about continued from where he left.Someone who supposedly was a bad t20 bowler has now pulled off back to back match winning performances.Maybe IPL form shouldn't always be taken seriously indeed.

 

[Bull]

No way Australia is getting this total.This is a slow wicket.
New Zealand should win this without much hiccups

 

[Usergame]

We can do this-NZ to pull off the win here.
Did some of you guys even watch the innings? No one apart from kane could time it- pitch is dry . 173 is a huge chase

 

[hass]

Great knock from Williamson. Class is permanent.

It’ll still take a really good bowling and fielding effort against this batting unit. Williamson’s captaincy is one of the best so we shouldn’t expect to see the wrong bowlers in the wrong overs etc.

Think we could be in for a grand stand finish to this tournament.

 

[jattafridi]

King Warner

 

[Justcrazy]

There we go ..... Aussies on here , chase begins
