Under the leadership of opening batter Aaron Finch, Australia defeated New Zealand in the final of the T20 World Cup 2021 that was played in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

And now, the host team has responsibility of defending their title in their home itself. Australia have a great squad going into the match against New Zealand, however, they lack depth in wicketkeeper position.
