New Zealand vs Australia LIVE! Marsh leads win - T20 World Cup final result, match stream and latest updates today

New Zealand vs Australia - LIVE!

Australia beat New Zealand by eight wickets to win their first ever Twenty20 World Cup title.

After the Black Caps posted 172/4, Australia reached their target with seven balls to spare after a brilliantly powerful batting display.

Opening batter David Warner scored 53 off 38 balls while Mitchell Marsh remained unbeaten on 77 from 50 deliveries to see Australia home, and spark wild celebrations among his teammates.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson earlier led by example with a whirlwind 85 off 48 balls, in what proved to be almost a one-man show.

While that looked to be a very competitive score, the innings’ of Warner and Marsh ensured Australia secured the title in relatively comfortable fashion.
