1. New Zealand: Give credit where its due. New Zealand were brilliant. They showed character and the fight to survive a tense finish. After a very bad start to their innings, they managed to post a fighting total of 239, which looked paltry at first sight. But once their defence started, it began growing, and finally proved just about enough against the favourites. Orchestrating their win was the captain Kane Williamson, who scored valuable 67 runs in 95 balls, then marshaled his troops brilliantly. And the faith he put in the team made all the difference, with individual players giving their all. Matt Henry's spell, Martin Guptill's direct hit, James Neesham's brilliant catch and also veteran Ross Taylor's gritty knock were some of the notable feats. They sure deserved to be playing back-to-back World Cup finals.
