New Zealand were beaten in stunning fashion when the sides met in the 2019 World Cup final where a super over was required after the match was twice tied. It was sweet revenge for them last night and they will now face either Australia or Pakistan - who meet tonight in the second semifinal - in the final in Dubai on Sunday.
