Australia thrash unbeaten India in final to lift their 6th World Cup trophy
Head’s century was only the seventh in a final in the 48-year history of the World Cup
Australia thrashed unbeaten India in the final to lift their 6th World Cup trophy on Sunday at the Ahmedabad cricket stadium.
The visitors secured an impressive seven-wicket win against the hosts while chasing India’s 241-run target.
Travis Head scored 137 and shared a fourth-wicket stand of 192 with Marnus Labuschange (58 not out) as Australia chased down a modest target of 241 with seven overs to spare.
Head’s century was only the seventh in a final in the 48-year history of the World Cup, but the third by an Australian following match-winning efforts of 149 by Adam Gilchrist in 2007 and 140 not out by Ricky Ponting in 2003.
