The final match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 between arch-rivals Australia and New Zealand will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday (November 14). Both teams are well-prepared for the much-anticipated championship match and will be vying for their first Twenty20 World Cup title. Australia and New Zealand both have a number of outstanding World Class players. They have the ability to turn a game around and can easily make any national team's playing XI. Let's see who can make it to a combined Australia-New Zealand T20I XI. ICC T20 World Cup 2021 combined T20I XI: Australia-New Zealand  One of the best opening pairs in this year's T20 World Cup is Australia's David Warner and Aaron Finch. On the other hand, Kiwi pacers Tim Southee and Trent Boult are causing panic in the opposition camp. New Zealand batsmen have had a lot more success in the middle order in comparison to Australia. Among the spinners, Ish Sodhi and Adam Zampa have bowled brilliantly. Let's see who make it into the playing XI.    1)  David Warner (Australia) T20 WC’21 M: 6 | Runs: 236 | HS: 89* | SR: 148.42 David Warner has been one of the best players at the World Cup thus far. His consistency has aided Australia's second-place finish in Group 1 of the Super 12 Round. Warner also laid the foundation for Australia's run chase in the semifinal encounter against Pakistan.

He is one of the leading run-scorers in the openers. 3)  Aaron Finch (Captain, Australia) T20 WC’21 M: 6 | Runs: 130 | HS: 44 | SR: 119.26 Aaron Finch edged out Kane Williamson for the no.3 spot due to his better strike rate in the competition.

Marsh has also been the most consistent middle-order batsman for Australia in this tournament. 5)  Glenn Phillips (New Zealand) T20 WC’21 M: 6 | Runs: 87 | HS: 39* | SR: 112.98 Glenn Phillips plays an important role in New Zealand's middle order. He has performed well for the Kiwis thus far, and he has the potential to become a match-winner in the tournament final.  Read T20 World Cup: Finalists eye maiden title in shortest format 6)  James Neesham (New Zealand) T20 WC’21 M: 6 | Runs: 73 | HS: 35* | SR: 173.80 | Wkts: 3 | BBI: 1/6 | Econ: 6.60  New Zealand defeated England in the first semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2021 thanks to James Neesham's aggressive batting. His all-round performance could be the deciding factor in the final match against Australia. 7)  Mathew Wade (Australia, wicket-keeper) T20 WC’21 M: 6 | Runs: 74 | HS: 41* | SR: 164.44 Mathew Wade steered Australia to the final with a blazing knock against Pakistan in the second semi-final. Wade has the most dismissals (8) in the tournament.

However, more importantly, he has one of the best economic rates in this World Cup. 9)  Trent Boult (New Zealand) T20 WC’21 M: 6 | Wkts: 11 | BBI: 3/17 | Econ: 6.54 Left-arm pacer Trent Boult is one of the most destructive bowlers of his generation. He has been in outstanding form in this competition and will lead New Zealand's bowling attack in the final against Australia.

In addition, he is one of the tournament's most economical bowlers. New Zealand batters will certainly find it difficult to deal with his bowling in the tournament final. 11)       Ish Sodhi (New Zealand) T20 WC’21 M: 6 | Wkts: 9 | BBI: 2/17 | Econ: 7.33  Ish Sodhi has given the batters a great deal of trouble in the middle overs in this tournament. He has been productive with his leg break deliveries against big opponents. That is why Sodhi may be an important asset for New Zealand in the championship match against Australia. Read Pakistan cricket team arrive in Dhaka Saturday Afterward  Picking the best-combined XI from two of the top international teams is never straightforward. Australia-New Zealand combined T20I XI has been selected depending on the performances in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2021. These players have exhibited consistency, and their performances have had a meaningful impact on the results of the matches. All eyes will be on these cricketers in the Twenty20 World Cup 2021 final match between Australia and New Zealand.

Both Australia and New Zealand are keeping their goal simple— to win the title— ahead of the final of the ongoing T20 World Cup which is all set to take place on Sunday in Dubai. Australia’s first chance was ruined by England in the final of the 2010 World Cup, but they are determined to grab the one title that eludes them on Sunday. New Zealand, on the other hand, have their first chance after ending heavily-fancied England's run in the semifinal. “It’s one that’s eluded us in the past, and the fact that we are here in the final gives us the best opportunity to rectify that,” Aaron Finch, the Australian captain, said on Saturday. “I think it will be a great game against New Zealand. They are a great side and they have been in all the finals over the last six years.” The final of the 2015 World Cup was the last, and only previous, occasion these two neighbouring countries faced each other in a World Cup final. New Zealand capitulated by seven wickets in Melbourne. The Blackcaps continued their final presence in 2019 when they were narrowly beaten by England on a controversial boundary count that has since been removed from the rules. The final of this year’s T20 World Cup is a fourth straight final for them, at an ICC World Cup event - earlier this year they also played the final of the Test championship, and won it. Read: T20 World Cup 2021 Final: Preview of Australia vs. New Zealand Match Before beating Pakistan in the semifinal, Australia won four of the five matches they played in the Super 12s stage, and New Zealand have also registered as many wins before the semifinal against England. The toss might play a big role in the final. All five of Australia’s wins came when they won the toss and fielded first. A total of 12 matches were hosted by Dubai in this World Cup, and 11 of them were won by the team who batted second. Like most of the matches in this World Cup, the spinners might play a big role in the final as well. Adam Zampa has been one of the best bowlers of the event. He has all the ability to impress in the final. Though Finch, the Australian captain believes that the responsibility does not lie with any one person. “I think like I said before, at some point throughout the tournament, everyone in our XI has had a match-winning contribution, which has been really impressive. I don't think it's down to one person,” Finch added. According to Finch, in a big game like the World Cup final, everyone needs to come up and execute the duty they have. He said: “(To win) everyone to chip in their part and that is a part of the pressure of a final and if it’s your day as an individual, trying to maximize that and go in as big as you can.” New Zealand captain Kane Willaimson is also looking forward to winning the World Cup for his nation. Read: Australia pull off late comeback to kill Pakistan's World Cup dream “It (winning WC) would be some achievement. But you know, where it stands at the moment is there's a game of cricket to play, and for us, it's focusing on that and focusing on our cricket and looking to go out there and implement those things that are important to us,” Williamson said in the pre-final press conference. New Zealand will miss the services of Devon Conway, their wicketkeeper, in the final. He broke his hand after punching his bat out of frustration after getting out against England. “Obviously the loss of Devon is a big one. You know, he's been a big part of all formats for us, and you know, a disappointing and really freak thing to happen. But for us, it's keeping our focus on the task, and all the players really excited with the opportunity tomorrow to go out,” Williamson added. Before the World Cup final, New Zealand and Australia faced each other in 14 T20Is with Australia winning nine of those, and losing only four. But this stat is unlikely to play a major role when the two teams lock horns in the final.

The wait is finally over, two neighboring countries across the Tasman Sea, Australia and New Zealand will meet in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 championship match on Sunday (November 14) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Just like the semifinals, the final match will begin at 8 p.m. (Bangladesh Standard Time). New Zealand will be aiming to avenge their 2015 ODI World Cup final loss to Australia. On the other side, Australia will be trying to win their first T20 World Cup. Let's take a look at Australia vs. New Zealand final preview.  Read: Pakistani cricket team arrives in Dhaka Australia vs. New Zealand: Important T20I Records The last time these two teams met in New Zealand, Australia won the series (2-1). Overall, Australia have a better head-to-head record than New Zealand, and the odds are in their favor heading into the final. Here are some of their major T20I records against one other.          Key T20I Record between both sides       Australia New Zealand Matches Played (14) 9 5 Most Runs Aaron Finch (251 runs in 7 innings) Martin Guptill (435 runs in 12 innings) Highest Score Ricky Ponting (98*) Brendon McCullum (116*) Most Fifties D’Arcy Short (2) Martin Guptill (3) Most Wickets Ashton Agar (13) IS Sodhi (16) Best Bowling Figures Ashton Agar (6/30) IS Sodhi (4/28) Most Matches Martin Guptill (12) Ashton Agar (9) Highest Partnership David Warner & D’Arcy Short (121) Martin Guptill & Colin Munro (132) Most Catches Glen Maxwell (10) Martin Guptill (10) Most Dismissals Adam Gilchrist (4) Tim Seifert (5)     Source: https://www.espncricinfo.com/ Australia   The opening pair of Australia has been one of the best in the competition. Left-hand dashing batter David Warner is one of the tournament's leading run-scorers, while skipper Aaron Finch has done a good job for his team. This duo will be crucial once again in the championship match against New Zealand. Australia's middle-order hasn't been in particularly good form so far in the tournament. It was David Warner who set the tone in Australia's run chase in the semi-final encounter against Pakistan.   Read Rizwan spends two nights in a hospital with chest infection In the middle order, Marsh, Smith, and Maxwell must find their best form in the crucial final. Otherwise, New Zealand will take the game away from them. Both Smith and Maxwell have strike rates less than 100 in the competition, which is surprising given their reputations. Stoinis and Wade delivered two crucial knocks in the semi-final that ensured Australia's victory. Finding form prior to the final will give both players a huge boost in confidence.      Leg-spinner Adam Zampa has been in outstanding form throughout the series, and he will be skipper Aaron Finch's main weapon in the final. Pat Cummins bowled well in the last game while Starc and Hazlewood both conceded a lot of runs against Pakistan. Australia's pacers must be more disciplined in order to overcome New Zealand, as the Kiwis are particularly good against fast bowlers.   Read Pakistan cricket team arrive in Dhaka Saturday

Glenn Maxwell dashed 70 from 31 balls, Aaron Finch returned to form with 69 and Ashton Agar took a career-best 6-30 as Australia beat New Zealand by 64 runs in the third Twenty20 international on Wednesday to keep the five-match series alive.

It was New Zealand captain Kane Williamson's turn to be puzzled by cricket's Decision-Review System (DRS) after he was given out leg-before wicket in the second test against Australia on Sunday.
