When New Zealand and Australia meet this afternoon, expect thrills and overflows T20 World Cup final.
It is expected that these two old rivals will not be close to the trophy, but they are chasing history in Dubai after the favorites quit the game one by one.
New Zealand defeated England in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, and Australia defeated Pakistan in Duabbi a day later.
Less than four weeks before the start of the Ashes, Australia had a chance to win an amazing victory that was cancelled from the tournament.
After beating India to become the first test world champion in the summer, New Zealand can end an incredible year with another trophy.
Defeating finalists in the past two top 50 World Cups, the Black Hats have a chance to win their first white ball tournament.

wicket! Mitchell C Wade b Hadeswood 11
With a lovely shot, Guptier stood high and hit Hadswood across the outfielder with four punches. The timing is beautiful.
But this is a good response to the Australian bowler…he has a breakthrough!
The slower leg cutter plays well, and Mitchell can only marginalize it. Wade is indeed willing to dive forward and grab it.
Finch had seen enough of Starc, and Glenn Maxwell joined the offense.
Wow! Daryl Mitchell knocked the part-time player directly to the ground and scored six first goals! This is the intention you are talking about.
The faster, wider ball is passed to Guptier… Is he on the edge? Wade threw it behind the stump, with a slight bottom edge. Australia missed the opportunity.
The leg goodbye finishes the end. 10 runs, 6 times at a time, and then a drop of water!
As expected, Josh Hazlewood from the other end.
The straight line is much straighter, starting with the three points of Guptill. Do those four and rush directly to the short cover. Is the pressure built up?
Nevertheless, the short ball and Guptill spin and pull it to the thin leg boundary.
Full and wide first ball. There was no swing, and no shot from Guptier. Then it widened again, but it was shorter, and the batter smashed it through offside on the first boundary of the game.
One to the third person made Mitchell strike. On Starc’s cushion, it was hidden on thin legs… It was a good run, they got three.
Darryl Mitchell and Martin Guptier are in the middle. Their mission is to make New Zealand stand out in Powerplay.
Mitchell Starc holds the ball, and Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins support you as always.
The finals are ready to begin!
Two fine British songs.
Once the two huge flags are finally lifted off the field, we will be ready to start.
The player walks out of the court. Many fans of different teams in the crowd…including some fans who were eliminated from the team earlier.
Williamson is pitching
This is a game of winning throws and winning games, and the New Zealand captain admitted that he would also play bowling first.
However, placing the chessboard on the chessboard in the finals is also a powerful position.
Williamson said: “Who knows the dew. But the important thing is that we focus on the task at hand, first the batsman, and try to get a competitive overall score.”

For Australia, this is a huge toss. New Zealand must be brave. Tim Seifert-very aggressive-came for the injured Devon Conway, which might even help them.
This is what Australia looks like…
Aaron Finch (c), David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stonys, Matthew Wade (week), Par Cummins, Mitchell Stark, Adam Zampa, Josh Hadswood
