00:00Short, hit, nailed, first boundary of the final.
00:13Paul Fine, Fine leg is very wide, too wide, and that'll go away for four.
00:19Stand and deliver.
00:26Are they going to attack Maxwell? You bet they are.
00:35Shot, shot, shot of the day so far, punched off the back foot.
00:42Slow ball as he carried it, he has. Beautiful bowling from Hazlewood.
00:48He ran his fingers down the side of the ball, and Australia have their first.
00:56Innovation, and it was required for New Zealand. That's been desperately needed.
01:02So much power in that, and the placement is perfect.
01:17Ah, shot, no taken, no not taken. And four, everything happened.
01:22Went beautifully off the bat, found the field and dropped four.
01:28Oh, it's a story in itself, that one ball.
01:35Oops.
01:38Should be called no ball.
01:41This could be a very, very big over, it is by Mario Rasmus, and it's a boundary, it's already 12 of it.
01:49How do they play him, they play him like that, there's a fielder underneath, and the fielder will take it.
01:57Somebody had a take on Zampa, Guptill said I will, couldn't clear Stoinis.
02:02And just as the game was moving New Zealand's way, they've lost another, Guptill gone for 28 and 76 for two.
02:11Right, right, over for six.
02:16That is not Phillips, that is Williamson, 45 of 31, the one man who's taken on the Aussies today.
02:26Ah, and he goes again, he puts it in the gap, but it doesn't matter.
02:31Why would you worry about the gaps when you're sailing over, 50 comes up.
02:35Or the captain, he is playing an astonishingly good innings today.
02:42Ah, lovely.
02:45There's the first, he's got a reputation for hitting big ones, and he hit that so easily.
02:55Goes forward, goes for four, inadvertent.
02:59Goes forward, goes for four, inadvertent.
03:03The runs continue to flow for Williamson.
03:09Very consistently.
03:13Goes full again, and again it peels off the outer half of the back for Williamson.
03:19Back to back boundaries, not the intended direction, but beneficial.
03:28No, just a change of line, oh big from Williamson.
03:32Monstrous.
03:354-4-6, taking stock to the cleaners.
03:43Inside out, a thing of beauty.
03:48It truly is.
03:49Ah, brilliant.
03:51Who says you have to be a power player to survive in this format?
03:57Touch players do.
03:591-3-6 for two.
04:04Has he hit it well enough?
04:06No, he hasn't.
04:08Good safe hands of Glenn Maxwell.
04:12Here's the one that has to break through.
04:14Hasn't hit this nearly well enough, two in the over.
04:18For Hazlewood, that's a big one.
04:21Of Williamson.
04:23Who's played well.
04:25Australia back to life with their fans.
04:33Very good.
04:35From Jimmy Neesha.
04:37Into the gap, the runs continue leaking from Mitchell Stark.
04:42He tries to go Yorker again.
04:46New Zealand finish at 172-4.
04:50In this T20 World Cup 2021 final.
04:54And he does, over the top of extra cover.
04:57Way to the boundary for four.
04:59The key wicket for me, Warner.
05:02For so many different reasons.
05:07Over point this time.
05:09Back with a point for four.
05:11And he's got it.
05:13He's got it.
05:15He's got it.
05:17He's got it.
05:19He's got it.
05:20Over point this time.
05:22Back with a point for four more.
05:24Back to back boundaries.
05:29Runs away.
05:31That might be the boundary that gets him going, Nasser.
05:33Absolutely.
05:34From Aaron Finch.
05:37This one's high in the air.
05:39There is a man out there.
05:40Can he get to it?
05:41He can.
05:42He's got great hands.
05:43McDowell Mitchell.
05:44That is a wonderful catch.
05:46Fault strikes.
05:47Finch goes early.
05:51Like that.
05:53What a start that is.
05:55Oh, my gosh.
05:57Welcome to the final, Mitch Marsh.
06:01Been missed.
06:04That might be four as well.
06:05Controlled.
06:06Very good from Marsh to start.
06:12Pulls again.
06:13That'll be four more.
06:14Taking a like into Martin Milne.
06:17Got above Fulton.
06:18He is just waiting for that pull.
06:24That is swung beautifully.
06:25Pace off from Southey.
06:26But Warner says have some of that.
06:35He has added something to this innings, Mitch Marsh.
06:38Since he got there.
06:39And that is a wonderful shot.
06:42That is a heck of a shot.
06:44He's dragged that from right outside the off stump
06:46and played it straight.
06:56Another boundary to Warner.
06:58He's just starting to find his range now.
07:06Straight down the middle.
07:09Straight down the ground.
07:11As straight as they come.
07:17But has he started well?
07:18He hasn't.
07:19It's gone for six.
07:24Oh, that sounded stunning.
07:28And it's gone as long as it seemed it would
07:31when you heard the sound.
07:3350 comes up of 34 balls.
07:36David Warner is signing himself on this match.
07:44He's just clobbered that.
07:45That is just brute force and nothing else.
07:51He's got the wicket he wanted.
07:53Give me one, said Ken Williamson to Trinbould.
07:56Hear my captain, he said.
08:02He's connected that as well as anybody in the game.
08:04As anybody in the game ever has.
08:08What a game-changing half century this is for Mitch Marsh.
08:15Oh, it was a drag down.
08:16Too easy.
08:17One bounce into the boundary for four.
08:19It's not happening today.
08:26Swung away high in the air.
08:28And all the way as well over the head of each 30.
08:31Into the boundary for six.
08:35Takes one.
08:37No, he puts it down.
08:39There's a chance.
08:41Slower ball.
08:42Just chipped back to Bolt.
08:47Has he hit that well enough?
08:49I don't think so.
08:50But it's going to invade Jimmy Neesham
08:52and into the boundary for four.
08:57Maxwell looks to finish it.
08:59And he might have done it as well.
09:02Five times 50 over men's World Cup champions.
09:05A team that can never, ever be written off.
09:08And they've finally got their hands on a men's T20 World Cup trophy.
09:11And it is richly deserved.
09:13Improved with every game, have Australia.
09:15They are now a champion team.
09:21The Aussies.
09:22Glenn Maxwell, pretty soft with him.
09:24Switching to him.
09:27Mitchell Marsh, the Aussies.
09:29The elusive title.
09:31It's coming back to Australia.
