Australia outclass India in final
India were outclassed on all fronts in the final of the ODI World Cup after their impressive batting line-up managed to put on only 240 runs in their 50 overs.
KL Rahul was the top scorer for India with 66 runs while Virat Kohli scored his ninth fifty in the ODI World Cup on Sunday.
In a fitting reply, the Aussies weathered the early pressure to clinch their sixth ODI World Cup after Travis Head scored a 137-run knock while Marnus Labuschagne scored an unbeaten 58.
The pair stitched a partnership of 192 for the fourth wicket that laid the foundation for the win.
Australia won their sixth World Cup, adding to their success stories in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2011.
In the last two years, they have won the T20 World Cup, and World Test Championship (WTC) and now rounded the success with the ODI World Cup in India.
The two teams will now play in a five-match T20I series which kickstarted on Thursday (Nov 23) in Visakhapatnam.
Australia were put into bat by India after new skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss for the first time of asking.
