Dubai: Australia Captain Aaron Finch predicted the “big contest” against New Zealand in the final on Sunday when the Trans-Tasman rivals rang in their efforts to win the T20 Maiden World Cup title.
Finch said his team had to stay focused throughout the match because he expected Kane Williamson’s troops to fight until the end in Dubai.
“Whenever you play New Zealand, you know how great the contest is, you know that they are so disciplined in the three side of the game,” Finch told reporters on Saturday.
“They are a team that you have to follow for all 40 overs if you are going to overcome the line.
They are a good side.
They really led by Kane and he did it brilliantly.” They looked to roam quite a long time in all kinds of contests and tires you.
That was what we learned for years about New Zealand.
They fight and memos in every situation.
“This will be a rematch of the 50-Overs World Cup title in 2015 won by Australia, but Finch felt there was a little to choose between Sunday finalists.” I think the two teams are very suitable.
With a similar structure in terms of bowling powerplay, “he said.” New Zealand has clearly become the dominant team at the World Cup in PowerPlay with balls.
“Both teams have got a good round option.
It must be a great contest.
It’s always.
So yes, we can’t wait.” Only a few will give Australia’s tip as a potential World Cup finalist after a chaotic buildup when they lose five Series T20 in a row.
Finch said his team had been able to hold on their plans and play with their strength.
“You have to win it.
I think it’s something you will take to give yourself the opportunity to win the world event, and to win the ICC trophy is truly special,” Finch said.
“So yes, we are really proud of where we are at this time and where we came from.
And one more step to leave.”
