Australia and New Zealand will be locking horns with each other in the much-awaited set to face off in the 2021 T20 World Cup final in Dubai on Sunday. As the world eagerly waits for the trans-Tasman rivals to face each other in the summit clash, excitement is building up among cricket fans on social media.
Former Indian opener Wasim Jaffer didn’t want to be left out of the chatter on Twitter and shared a hilarious meme of his own on Saturday, featuring Team India captain Virat Kohli and New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson. In the meme, Kohli and Williamson are seen chatting with each other.

The meme refers to Kohli’s poor luck when it comes to coin toss. India lost tosses in all their three opening matches of the tournament – against Pakistan, New Zealand, and Afghanistan. India went on to lose to Pakistan and New Zealand after being put in to bat first.

The Kohli-led side bounced back with wins over Afghanistan, Scotland, and Namibia but those wins weren’t enough for the Indian team to go past the Super 12 stage. New Zealand, who had begun their campaign with defeat at the hands of Pakistan, defeated the men in blue next before wins over Scotland, Namibia, and Afghanistan.
Williamson’s side then defeated England in a thriller in the semis to reach the final. Australia, similarly, won four of their five matches in the Super 12 stage before beating Pakistan in the last four to book their berth in Sunday’s final.
