"Trent Boult x @JamesMcOnie FireMultiple musical notes A special #WTC21 themed musical collaboration between Trent Boult and the Crowd Goes Wild's James McOnie," wrote Blackcaps while sharing the video.

Here are the lyrics of the song:

"We're tired of the white-ball life, Devon's in the runs, 
Colin's mullet is so long, it glistens in the sun. 

So don't tell us we can't bat, we're here to play for Kane. 
Dukes ball is swinging twice as nice, and we got to bowl today. 

Take me to the world test champs in Hampshire..
Take me where the Blackcaps gonna beat them... So right, so right..

I can almost smell the champagne now,
and see the clouds of sky, 
the sexy camel's swinging crazy, 
and right before my eye.

Rosco hits it all the way, Talkin' bout redemption. 
Talkin' bout love for Kane and the way he shook them up

take me to the world test champs in Hampshire.. Oh! Oh! Oh! 
Take me where the Blackcaps gonna beat them, So right! So right!"

New Zealand defeated India in the WTC final by 8 wickets. Ross Taylor had hit the winning boundary while chasing 139 runs on the reserve day. Taylor and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson posted an unbroken partnership of 96 runs to secure a historic win for the Kiwis.
