New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson says his players showed big heart in the T20 World Cup with their performances but since it did not result in a title, they are "feeling it a bit." Williamson himself led the New Zealand charge with a majestic 85-run knock after his side struggled in the first half of their innings.

They put on board a competitive 172 for four but Australian batter Mitchell Marsh crushed their hopes with a scintillating unbeaten 77. "There was a lot of heart shown, always nice to get to the big dance. But credit to Australia again. Some high hopes coming in, some good cricket played, so we`re feeling it a bit," Williamson said at the post-match presentation ceremony. "There are only two possible outcomes, shame we couldn`t get the job done."
