New Zealand Vs Australia Highlights: AUSTRALIA ARE THE NEW T20 WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS! Courtesy of David Warner's 53 and Mitchell Marsh's 77 not-out, the Aussies chase down the target of 173 in 18.5 overs to bag their maiden world title in the shortest format. In response, the Black Caps drew first blood as Trent Boult dismissed Aaron Finch in the 3rd over. However, that did not deter Mitchell Marsh from taking on Adam Milne in his first over, smashing him for two fours and a six. Along with Warner, he took Australia to 43/1 after the first 6 overs. The duo continued in the same vein and went on to stitch another 50-run stand. They handed Australia the command of the chase by taking the side to 82/1 after 10 overs.  Warner got to his 50 before being cleaned up by Trent Boult on 53. Soon after, Marsh smashed a 50 off 31 balls, fastest in a T20 WC final, to take Australia to 136/2 in 15 overs. He stitched an unbeaten 67-run stand for the 3 wicket with Glenn Maxwell to take the side home with 1.1 overs to spare. In the first innings, New Zealand set Australia a target of 173 in 20 overs to win the T20 World Cup final. Martin Guptill and Daryl Mitchell struck some early boundaries to power the Black Caps to 23/0 after 3 overs. Off Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Wade dropped Guptill. In the next over, Josh Hazlewood removed Mitchell as NZ then stuttered to 37/1 after 7 overs. Then Kane Williamson hit a few boundaries to help New Zealand reach 57/1 after 10 overs. In 31 balls, he brought up his 50 to take New Zealand to 102/2 after 14 overs. Williamson smashed Mitchell Starc for 22 runs in an over to take NZ to 117/2 after 17 overs. His onslaught ended on 85 off 48 balls as Hazlewood scalped the big finish after getting rid of Glenn Phillips in the same over. Tim Seifer and Jimmy Neesham guided NZ to 172/4 in 20 overs.
