Australia scripted history on Sunday evening in Dubai to become the new T20 World Cup champions after registering a comprehensive 8-wicket win over New Zealand in the summit clash.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson earlier led by example with a whirlwind 85 off 48 balls to power his side to 172/4 at the Dubai International Stadium.
