Australia clinched their maiden T20 World Cup title, crushing New Zealand by eight wickets in the final at the Dubai International Stadium on 14 November 2021. 

Chasing a stiff target of 173, the Aussies overhauled New Zealand’s score with seven balls remaining. David Warner was chosen as Player of The Tournament for his effort with the bat. In the previous two editions of the event (2014 and 2016), it was India batter Virat Kohli who won the title.
