The 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Final took place at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai, UAE, on November 14, 2021. New Zealand and Australia, both seeking their first T20 World Cup victory, competed in the final. Australia Cricket Team emerged victorious, clinching their inaugural T20 World Cup title with an 8-wicket win.
Originally slated for Australia from October 18 to November 15, 2020, the event faced a postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as confirmed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in July 2020. In August 2020, the ICC announced India as the host for the rescheduled 2021 tournament, with Australia set to host the 2022 edition. However, in June 2021, citing concerns over the pandemic, particularly the Delta variant and its potential impact in India, the ICC relocated the tournament to the United Arab Emirates. The tournament commenced on October 17, 2021, with its final held on November 14, 2021. Oman and the UAE hosted the preliminary rounds of the tournament.
