T20 World Cup, New Zealand vs Australia Highlights: Australia defeated New Zealand by 8 wickets to become T20 World Champion. Cricket News – Times of India

Dubai: Devastated by an injury Michelle Marshaw Finally found a night of his reckoning and glory as he took Australia to their first t20 world cup The title came with his stroke-filled 77, which opened his team’s comfortable eight-wicket win over New Zealand on Sunday.
The target of 173 runs in the global final is never easy but Marsh made it a walk in the park with his power and reach. David Warner (53 off 38 balls), who also turned the wheel of fortune for himself and his team during a win, achieved in 18.5 overs.
Achievement: , as it happened
Marsh, a man of immense potential who never really did justice to his immense talent, lit up the Dubai skyline with some brutal stroke-play and it was a night when Kane WilliamsonThe touch of class was left in the shadows.
It’s never a great feeling to see Williamson as a ‘tragic hero’ but even in defeat, the Black Caps’ brilliant captain will take off his hat for Marsh, who went on to become Australia’s ‘man for the job’ , who was promoted to number three for this tournament. ,

Eyebrows were curled for the better part but not anymore after ‘Super Sunday’.
It was a night when brute force defeated sheer artistry. Marsh hit six fours and four sixes, which included some monsters off Ish Sodhi (0/40 in 3 overs). One was a slog sweep and the other straight under the ground.
Marsh, who took 50 deliveries for his innings, also ensured that Justin Langer got some breathing space before the big Ashes.

And for all the skeptics who believe that T20 cricket only needs short-format specialists, Australia won their first title with five Test specialists – three pacers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood – Together with Warner and Steve Smith.
After five ODI World Cup titles, Australia finally banished the ghosts and in the most professional way possible under a sober but low-rated captain Aaron Finch.

Warner, who was humiliated at the same venue by an Indian IPL franchise, who seated him in the gallery with a flag in hand, played his part in his stand of 92 in just 10 overs.
It was a tournament where Warner made a comeback after being in a dungeon for a very long time and showed the world that no one should play with the arrogance of a champion.
Unlike New Zealand, who wasted the first 10, Marsh launched a counter-attack within the powerplay as he dethroned Adam Milne with a six, a four and a four to set the tone.

When Warner played a ‘slap’ shot off Sodhi, one knew that New Zealand would have to come second again in this trans-Tasman battle.
Coming to bat, Williamson was ruthless and artistic during his beautifully crafted knock of 85 runs, which took New Zealand to a competitive score of 172 for four.
New Zealand literally struggled in the first 10 overs and slowed down the proceedings with Martin Guptill’s painful 28 off 35 balls.

Williamson took the stage with 10 fours and three sixes in his 47-ball knock with the grace of a ‘ballet dancer’.
In the ‘Grand Finale’ match, New Zealand scored an astonishing 115 runs in the last 10 overs.
Williamson shifted gears with such ease that it was a treat to watch him play. He got only 15 runs from the first 16 balls he faced as Adam Zampa was in the middle of a good spell, while Guptill’s poor form also impressed the captain.
But once he decided he needed to move on, he hit all those copybook shots of his own accord, scoring 70 runs in the next 31 balls.

The Black Caps captain showed why he is one of the modern-day greats during the back-10 as he strategically took the attack back into the opposition camp. He became the captain to score the highest score in the T20 World Cup final, overtaking Kumar Sangakkara.
He first turned the tide in the 11th over when he dismissed Mitchell Starc (0/60 in 4 overs) for 19 runs in his over, including a catch dropped behind square by Josh Hazlewood.
The way he charged the track and creamed Starc through mid-off was the most enjoyable of the three in that over.
When Starc came on for his third over and the team’s 16th over, his confidence was already shaken and Williamson mocked him with a dash of T20 flair with his Test match batting.
There was a ‘pick-up flick’ for the ages when Starc pulled one into his pad and it soared into the Dubai skyline before landing in the gallery.
If Starc’s second over was too bad, it came bad in his third over, in which the Kiwis got 24 runs, which included four fours and a six.
It was a ‘fifty-century’ of humiliation that he would like to forget and also forgive Josh Hazlewood for what could possibly have been a ‘match-turning’ jungle.
Hazlewood (3/16 in 4 overs) however was the bowlers’ choice along with Adam Zampa (1/26 in 4 overs).
The first watch of the night certainly belonged to Williamson, who again repeated the age-old adage – a technically adept Test batsman can play any format with authority as he did during an evening when it was the most It mattered.
