POBNEWS24, Dhaka, Nov 11, 2021: 2015 ODI World Cup Final. 2019 ODI World Cup Final. 2021 T20 World Cup Final. ‘Semi-final team’ New Zealand in three of the last four World Cup finals! Why did Williamsons take sweet revenge in another final after losing to England by 5 wickets yesterday? In the epic final of Lord’s in 2019, after a wave of excitement, insanity and disbelief, England won the title leaving New Zealand behind.
Daryl Mitchell has not yet made his debut. Seeing the loss of the title, he was sobbing. That Mitchell bat is the fulfillment of dreams. New Zealand in the final of the T20 World Cup for the first time with sweet revenge. England’s 18-run challenge was once a mountain for the Kiwis. 56 runs were needed in the last 4 overs! New Zealand also topped that hill with the explosion of 72 runs from 47 balls of Daryl Mitchell. But still the rest of the whole one over!
New Zealand is known as the ‘semifinal team’. Six times in the ODI World Cup semifinals! He has also been dropped twice from the last four of the T20 World Cup. The drought ended with two consecutive ODI finals. They are in the final of the T20 World Cup for the seventh time. New Zealand lost to England in the last T20 World Cup semifinal. Yesterday’s victory is to add to the burning of their minds. The Kiwis had a precedent of winning the T20 World Cup by chasing a maximum of 140 runs.
That history also changed in Abu Dhabi yesterday.
New Zealand lost 2 wickets in three overs for 18 runs. Chris Oakes also replaces Ken Williamson after Martin Guptill. After losing the team’s top two batsmen, Daryl Mitchell and Devon Conway focused on building the innings. The Kiwis returned to the match with a pair of 72 runs for the third wicket. Conway came down the track on Liam Livingstone’s leg spin. He was confused at the turn. Of wickets
His 46-run innings ended with a stumping by Joss Butler.
New Zealand needed 56 runs in the last 24 balls. That’s when Jimmy Neesham attacked Chris Jordan. Jordan scored 23 runs in the 18th over. 2 sixes and 1 boundary came from Nisham’s bat. Turns out the course of the match. Supporters in Lord’s-Manchester go silent. Christchurch-Hamilton on the other side of the world is still the color of the festival. Even though Nisham returned with 26 off 10 balls, Daryl Mitchell is still unshakable. The Hamilton cricketer played the Hamilton flute to take the Kiwis to the final.
England, who had earlier lost the toss and elected to bat, could not take the storm to the play. Only 40 runs in 6 overs. Joss Butler, who is at the peak of his form, could not do anything. However, Moin Ali did his best batting in the semi-final of the World Cup. He played 3 boundaries and 2 sixes in 36 balls in an innings of 51 *.
The toss in this World Cup is important from the beginning. The team that chased the run got extra advantage due to the dew. England did not have the luck in the semi-finals. So he had to bat in the beginning after losing the toss. Johnny Bairstow, who had improved from the middle order due to the absence of Jason Roy, was dropped in the opening. And to increase the balance of the team, Sam Billings was dropped in the middle order. Billings did not get a chance to bat in the end! Bairstow was swinging from the start in the swing of Trent Bolt and Tim Southee. In the end, in the sixth over, Adam Milne was picked up by Kane Williamson, who came back with a great catch for 13 runs.
Jos Butler gave England a ticket to the semifinals in an innings of 61 * against Australia and 101 * against Sri Lanka. There was no storm in his bat yesterday. Butler, who scored 29, became lbw while doing a reverse sweep with Ish Sodhir. After that, David Malan and Moin Ali took the helm. The pair averaged 63 runs for the third wicket. England got the basis of a good score in that. Tim Southee broke the tie by returning 41-year-old Malan. However, if wicketkeeper Devon Conway had not dropped the catch, Malan could have been out for 10 runs.
England made 99 runs in the last 10 overs. David Malan hit the first six for the team in the first ball of the 18th over. Then England hit 4 sixes throughout the innings. Trent Bolt is also responsible for sparking England’s run from the power play. The best pacer of New Zealand’s time was wicketless at the cost of 40 runs in 4 overs. Mitchell Santner, who has a wonderful rhythm, did 1 over. That Santner took the bat at number seven. He said the night was a festive one as it contributed a little to New Zealand’s success. With the whole of New Zealand.
