Australian captain Aaron Finch feels toss won't decide the eventual outcome of the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday.

Finch, according to Sydney Morning Herald, said a team should be able to win in all conditions in a mega event like World Cup.

This year's T20 World Cup has seen toss playing a huge role in many games, especially in Dubai. 

In the Super 12s stage matches played in Dubai, only once in 12 games team batting first has won with dew playing a huge role later. 

The second semi-final between Pakistan and Australia also saw the team  batting second — Aussies — winning despite the team losing the toss putting up a brilliant show with the bat.

"Absolutely it can be overcome. At some point, to win this tournament you're going to have to bat first. I was actually hoping to lose the toss against Pakistan because I would have loved to put up a score on the board in that semi-final. It was one of those ones where you're probably never going to bat first but you don't mind if you have to. It's the same going into the final," he said.
