One of the videos of the Australian players celebrating their victory after winning the title quickly went viral. The video, shared on the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Twitter page, shows Australian players Matthew Wade and Marcus Stoinis pouring beer into their shoes during a victory celebration.
Wade, the team’s wicket-keeper, took off his shoes and drank beer as the Aussies arrived in the dressing room to celebrate the victory. Soon after, Marcus Stones, who had bought the same shoe from the star, poured beer into the shoe and drank it.

This popular method of drinking beer directly from footwear is known in Australia as ‘shui’. It is also a very common celebration in Australia.
The reason why @danielricciardo retired early from the #BrazilianGP – to celebrate with his fellow Oz mates following the #T20WorldCupFinal win.

Australian Formula One driver Daniel Ricardo has made the ‘Shoey’ celebration popular around the world. It was already popular in their country. Ricardo did this after finishing on the podium at the 2016 German Grand Prix. Ricciardo celebrated with podium finishers and celebrities as part of the ceremony.
Australian fast bowler Andrew Tye had made it clear that he would celebrate Shui if his team Punjab Kings (Kings XI Punjab) won the title in the 2019 IPL, but Punjab’s could not do so and the star’s wish did not materialize.
New Zealand’s 173-run target in the final was surpassed by Australia with seven balls to spare. Score: New Zealand 172/4 in 20 overs, Australia 173/2 in 18.5 overs.
