T20 World Cup 2021 Final

As far as the T20 World Cup 2021 is concerned, Australia won the final after beating New Zealand by 8 wickets. The maiden World T20 title came for Australia on the back of some brilliant individual performances throughout the competition, including from players like David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Adam Zampa, who were being considered out-of-form before the commencement of the tournament last month. All three were also amongst the best performers on the night of the final. 

Coming back to the final, Australia beat New Zealand by 8 wickets to win the 2021 T20 World Cup. Batting first, the Kiwis had posted a total of 172 runs on the board courtesy of some brilliant batting by Kane Williamson, who scored 85 off 48 balls. In reply, Australia chased down the target with 7 balls remaining. David Warner scored 53 off 38 balls to put on a 91-run partnership with Marsh after the early dismissal of Aaron Finch. After Warner was removed by Trent Boult, Marsh finished the run chase with Glenn Maxwell.
