Australia and New Zealand meet on Sunday in the T20 World Cup final in Dubai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Let's take a look at three memorable cricket clashes between the two neighbours:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
1974 Christchurch<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n New Zealand beat Australia by five wickets<\/p>\r\n\r\n For nearly 30 years, New Zealand were simply ignored by Australia, who didn't consider them worthy opponents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n That changed in the 1970s and most specifically in 1974 when, with star batsman Glenn Turner making a hundred in each innings, New Zealand recorded their maiden Test victory over Australia with a five-wicket win at Christchurch's Lancaster Park.<\/p>\r\n\r\n 1981, Melbourne<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n Australia beat New Zealand by six runs<\/p>\r\n\r\n The scoreline may not jog many memories but the word 'underarm' will surely will.<\/p>\r\n\r\n What might have been a forgettable third final of the one-day series produced one of the most controversial finishes of all-time when, with New Zealand needing six to tie off the last ball, Australia captain Greg Chappell instructed younger brother Trevor to role the ball underarm along the ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Angry New Zealand tailender Brian McKechnie, who was on strike, threw his bat away in disgust and Greg Chappell's decision brought forth a torrent of criticism.<\/p>\r\n\r\n New Zealand's then Prime Minister, Robert Muldoon, said the delivery was "an act of true cowardice and I consider it appropriate that the Australian team were wearing yellow".<\/p>\r\n\r\n Meanwhile, former Australia captain Ian Chappell, Greg and Ian's older brother, said: "Fair dinkum, Greg. How much pride do you sacrifice to win $A35,000?"<\/p>\r\n\r\n 2015, Auckland<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n New Zealand beat Australia by one wicket<\/p>\r\n\r\n The 2015 World Cup pool clash at Eden Park was one of the best matches in the event's history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n It seemed New Zealand had the match all but won after they shot out Australia for just 151, with left-arm paceman Trent Boult taking five for 27.<\/p>\r\n\r\n New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum then launched the Black Caps' reply with a typically dashing 50.<\/p>\r\n\r\n But Australia left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc rocked New Zealand with a superb haul of six for 28 and was on a hat-trick when the Black Caps lost their ninth wicket only for last man Boult to survive the next two balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n New Zealand's Kane Williamson (45 not out) won the match when he drove the first ball of the next over, from Pat Cummins, for six.<\/p>\r\n\r\n The two teams were to meet again in the final in Melbourne but the showpiece turned into a non-event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
