New Zealand vs Australia, T20 World Cup 2021 final: Here is a list of 5 five matchwinners to watch out for

David Warner

After a disappointing campaign in the IPL 2021 where he was sacked from captaincy and even dropped from the playing XI by Sunrisers Hyderbad, Warner returned to his old best in the T20 World Cup 2021. He has scored 236 runs in 6 matches with a strike rate of 148.42. He can give Australia a quick start that will be tough for New Zealand.

Kane Williamson

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson has not had the best of tournaments so far but his class could make the difference on the big day. His calmness is exactly what any team needs in a crucial match like this. His ability to deliver under pressure was visible in the World Test Championship 2021 final against India.

Glenn Maxwell

If we are talking about match-winners in T20 cricket, one could not ignore Glenn Maxwell. Although he has been struggling in the tournament so far with just 36 runs in six innings he has the ability to hit raining sixes and take away the game from opponents anytime.

Adam Zampa

The wrist-spinner Adam Zampa is a huge asset in T20. He is the second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament so far with 12 wickets in 6 games. He has the ability to demolish New Zealand's fragile middle order.

Ish Sodhi

If Australia has Zampa, New Zealand has leg-spinner Ish Sodhi who has been a consistent performer with the bowl for Kiwis in T20 World Cup 2021. Before the semi-final against England, he took a wicket in the first over of his spell in every match. Even in the semifinal, he bagged a wicket on the first ball of his second over. He dismissed Jos Buttler who played a big role in ensuring England's scoring rate remains under control. Here's how people react on KOO:

My prediction in today’s #T20WorldCup match between #Australia and #Newzealand ... In bowling department... 1. #TrentBoult will take 2 - 3 wickets. 2. #AdamZampa may turn game in favor of #Australia ?. 3. If #NewZealand bat firsts, #Australia will be chasing around 150 - 160. 4. If #Australia batting 1st, then may get low score to defend. (Around 120 - 130). 5. And, I’m saying New Zealand’s ??.
