Australian captain Aaron Finch has conceded that not winning the ICC T20 World Cup title so far has been a sore point with the Kangaroos and the final against New Zealand later on Sunday is the "best opportunity to rectify that".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The closest Australia came to winning the T20 World Cup was during the 2010 edition held in the West Indies, where they lost to England by seven wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It's one that's eluded us in the past, and the fact that we are here in the final gives us the best opportunity to rectify that. Yeah, I think it will be a great game against New Zealand. They are a great side and they have been in all the finals over the last six years. Looking forward to it," said Finch ahead of the title clash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Finch added that despite critics writing his team off, the way the players had gone about their business was heartening.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Everyone had written us off but we had a lot of confidence within. We're really confident the way that we were preparing, the way that our strategy was coming together. Yeah, I think it hasn't defied expectation. I think we came here with a really clear plan to win the tournament, and we still feel as though we've got the squad to do that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Well, I think the spirit among the team… and that's been really impressive the way we've gone about our business. Everyone has prepared really well. Everyone has had a really defining match or match-defining performance at some point. The guys are really up and about for the final," said Finch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Finch added that batting stalwart Steve Smith's form wasn't a concern despite the fact that the former skipper has been unimpressive so far in the tournament, and the team management has drawn flak for persisting with him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
