Mitchell Marsh and David Warner smashed half-centuries as Australia won its first cricket ICC T20 World Cup with an eight-wicket victory over New Zealand in the final on Sunday.
New Zealand lost the all-important toss and scored 172-4. Skipper Kane Williamson, dropped on 21, led the way by scoring 85 off 48 balls, but his team was pegged back by Josh Hazlewood, who finished with impressive figures of 3-16 from four overs.
Marsh smashed an unbeaten 77 off 50 balls and Warner made 53 off 38 as Australia reached 173-2 in 18.5 overs.
Speaking about David Warner’s form prior to the World Cup, Aaron Finch revealed an interesting conversation he had with Justin Langer.
“I told Justin Langer 2 months ago on the phone call that don’t worry about David Warner’s form, he’ll be Man Of the Tournament”.
