It is heartwarming to see the ex-players interacting with each other despite the bilateral tensions.

Meanwhile, Australia beat New Zealand by eight wickets to win their maiden T20 World Cup. David Warner was once again the star for Australia in the summit clash as he smashed a quickfire fifty to set up the chase.
