Kevin Pietersen: My T20 World Cup Team of the Tournament

The 2021 International Cricket Council Twenty20 World Cup was a Trans-Tasman affair, when Australia and New Zealand faced off on Sunday in the finals. England batsman Kevin Pietersen had correctly tipped the kangaroos to win the event for the first time in the tournament's history.

As an illustration of the rivalry between these two teams, he cited Australia's one-sided victory over New Zealand in the 2015 World Cup final as evidence of the animosity between these two teams. In terms of the current competition, Aaron Finch and company overcame Pakistan, while the Kane Williamson-led side defeated England in their semi-final matches.
