T20 World Cup: Black Caps lose to Australia

From Morning Report, 7:09 am on 15 November 2021

The hex continues for the Black Caps, who've suffered a bitter defeat to Australia in this morning's T20 cricket World Cup final. Even a good knock by captain Kane Williamson wasn't enough, with Australia winning by 8 wickets.

The Black Caps were put in to bat first, setting a record target of 172 -- including Williamson's 85 off 48 balls.

But Australia lost just two wickets in the process of chasing down that total - with Glenn Maxwell scoring the winning runs with seven balls to spare.

Black Caps wicketkeeper Peter McGlashan spoke to Corin Dann.
