Australia and New Zealand are all set to play the ICC Champions' trophy final today.This one is gonna be an exciting match for sure.Though Australia are the obvious favorites,it would be a blunder to underestimate the Kiwis.I wish the Aussies can successfully defend their title!
Australia has been dominant in all the ICC tournaments except the Twenty20 .Till the semifinals,the Kangaroos have managed to come back from the brink of defeat to top their respective Pool A table with 5 points from three matches.But in the semis against England,the team was an altogether different version of what had been seen earlier.Shane Watson along with Ricky Ponting stole the show for the team.They were nearly flawless scoring the highest second wicket partnership in Australian history.If the team plays like this,it seems virtually impossible to stop the Kangaroos.
On the other hand,no one expected Kiwis to make it to the finals.But they have really upped their standard when it mattered.They are now on a three match winning roll against Sri lanka,Engand and Younus Khan's team and if they continue their form in this way,they would pose some serious danger to the Kangaroos.The captain Vettori has done an excellent job till now both with the ball and the bat.The bowlers have also showed outstanding performance.So both Australia and New Zealand are looking forward to make history today!
I wish Ponting's team emerges victorious in the final to take away "its" title successfully because they certainly deserve to be up there.
