NDTV
T20 World Cup Final, New Zealand vs Australia: New Zealand overcame tough hurdles to reach the final where they are scheduled to meet Australia on Sunday.
After finishing second in Group 2 behind Pakistan in the Super 12 stage, New Zealand brought their 'A' game when they took on England in the first semi-final. Exceptional performances from the likes of James Neesham and Daryl Mitchell ensured that the New Zealand side confirmed a place in yet another world title match. After twin disappointments of losing out to Australia and England in the 2015 and 2019 ODI World Cup finals respectively, the Kane Williamson-led side will be eager to make amends and grab a much-awaited limited-overs trophy. If they do so, they will cap off a brilliant year, having won the World Test Championship (WTC) earlier against India.
Here's looking at all the matches played so far by New Zealand:
Super 12
vs Pakistan
New Zealand got off to a bad start as they lost by five wickets to the Babar Azam-led side. They were restricted to 134/8 in 20 overs which the Pakistan batters chased with 10 balls to spare.
