    Australia's keen to finish off what they're describing as a redemption tournament at the Twenty20 cricket World Cup


    They play New Zealand for the trophy in Dubai tomorrow morning, with neither side having won the 20-over competition before.

    Ranked sixth in the world, Australia won just two of their previous 10 T20I matches heading into the tournament.

    Captain Aaron Finch says many had written them off.
