Australia ends India's winning streak in the World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, winning a record-tying sixth championship.
The summit clash at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday
Australia, who won a record-tying sixth global title in the summit match on Sunday at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, put an end to India's strong and unbeaten run at the global Cup 2023.
India's aspirations were dashed by Travis Head's fifth ODI century and a steely fifty from Marnus Labuschagne as Australia easily chased down 241 to win the match by six wickets and shatter a billion Indian hearts as their excruciatingly long search for an ICC trophy continues.
With the victory, Pat Cummins became the next in a great and enduring line of Australian World Cup captains, joining Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Ponting, and Michael Clarke.
Head, who missed the first four games of this World Cup due
Travis became the third Australian batter to hit a century in a World Cup final after Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist did so. Head, who missed the first four games of this World Cup due to a broken finger, was out on 137 when Australia needed just two more runs to win.
Head really entered a Ponting-like beast mode towards the end, reminiscent of the 2003 Johannesburg final. He finished with the fourth-highest individual score in a World Cup final, after Viv Richards' 138, Gilchrist's 149 in 2007, and Ponting's 140.
