Australia and New Zealand are all set to lock horns for the much-awaited Men’s T20 Final match today (Sunday), which is taking place in Dubai. Australia has won the toss and decided to field first.
The two teams had played a match together only once before in the T20 World Cup history when New Zealand defeated Australia by 8 runs in India.
Neither Australia nor New Zealand have won the T20 tournament before, so whoever wins today will lift the T20 trophy for the very first time.
Displaying an impressive start, New Zealand opening batter Martin Guptill struck a four on the very second ball of the first over but lost their first wicket at 28 runs when Daryl Mitchell was sent back to the pavilion by Josh Hazlewood towards the end of the 3rd over.
