Men's T20 World Cup, Dubai

New Zealand 172-4 (20 overs): Williamson 85 (48), Hazlewood 3-16Australia 173-2 (18.5 overs): Marsh 77* (50), Warner 53 (38)

Australia won by eight wickets

Australia powered to an eight-wicket victory over New Zealand to win the Men's T20 World Cup for the first time.

Mitchell Marsh plundered a ferocious 77 not out from 50 balls as Australia overhauled what appeared to be a challenging 173 with seven deliveries to spare in Dubai.

The all-rounder shared a dominant stand of 92 with opener David Warner and continued to attack after the opener was bowled for 53 from 38 balls.

Marsh was dropped on 68 but at that stage only 15 runs were needed from 19 balls, the highest chase in a Men's T20 World Cup final a near certainty.

After Glenn Maxwell hit the winning runs, Marsh was mobbed by his team-mates and dropped to his knees, overcome with emotion having produced his finest Twenty20 innings on the biggest stage.

I've heard that the English T20 players that are featuring in the Ashes, are going to be on the Aussie plane home. 🤣 🍻

👋🏼 Defender Liam Jones has dropped a bombshell in announcing his immediate retirement from the AFL.

It's less than a week after he was outed as the one Blues player who was refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccination.

Jones was contracted for the 2022 season and stood to earn about half a million dollars from the Blues, which he will now forfeit. (nine)

McDonald was keen to accept an invitation to ride during the showcase week and, after the Hong Kong Jockey Club were granted an exemption by the government this weekend for a ‘racing bubble’ it’s now down to the logistics of getting the champion jockey in and out of Hong Kong. (racenet)
