The finalists for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 have been decided.
New Zealand were the first team to secure their spot in the decider, winning a thrilling semi-final against 2016 runners up England, triumphing in a match that was billed as a rematch of their 2019 Cricket World Cup final.
It is the third straight ICC final they have made across three formats, having taken out the inaugural World Test championship earlier this year and finished runners up in the aforementioned Cricket World Cup. They were also runners up in 2015, giving them a run of three World Cup finals across four limited-overs competitions, with the 2016 T20 World Cup the outlier.
Australia qualified for the decider after beating Pakistan in Thursday’s second semi-final.
The Final
New Zealand v Australia, 7.30 pm Sri Lanka time, Sunday, 14 November
