New Delhi: Australia crushed India by 6 wickets in the final match played at Narendra Modi Stadium in the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave, Ahmedabad, India on Sunday.
Opener Travis Head hit a sparkling 137 to power Australia to a record-extending sixth ODI World Cup title.
Chasing a tricky 241 for victory in the final, Australia slipped to 47-3 before the left-handed Head hit his second century of the tournament to steer the team home with seven overs to spare.
Australia elected to field first and the players backed up Cummins' decision with disciplined bowling and impressive fielding.
Virat Kohli and KL Rahul hit 54 and 66 respectively after Rohit's attacking 47 but the ball dominated the bat on a slow, dry pitch.
Head took a stunning catch while running back from cover point to cut short Rohit's innings off spinner Maxwell.
Cummins bowled Kohli, who ended as the leading batsman in tournament with 765 runs, to silence the crowd of 92,453 fans, who like the home team in the middle had an unforgettable day.
