Australia, New Zealand's roads to T20 World Cup final has been similar, little to choose between them: VVS Laxman

T20 World Cup: Both Australia and New Zealand won the toss in their respective semi-final games, which they also won by five wickets, and VVS Laxman said that it is difficult to say which team is better.

Both Australia and New Zealand followed similar paths to victory in the T20 World Cup semi-finals and there is little to choose between the two teams, former India batsman VVS Laxman has said. While Australia may have a slight edge due to the absence of Devon Conway in the Kiwi setup, the latter can never be counted out, according to Laxman.

"There is little to choose between the two finalists, with Australia having the slight edge following the freak injury to Devon Conway. But as history will testify, New Zealand is a side that can be taken lightly at one’s own peril," Laxman wrote in his column for The Times of India on Saturday.
