In a dominant performance in Ahmedabad, Australia won their sixth title by six wickets against one of the best teams of the tournament, India, in the final match of the World Cup.

In the batting department, Travis Head scored a century, and Marnus Labuschagne added a slow-steady half-century, helping to seal the match by six wickets.
