Australia clinched their sixth 50-overs World Cup title defeating India on Sunday in Ahmedabad
Australia clinched their sixth 50-overs World Cup title, setting a new record, as opener Travis Head's remarkable century paved the way for their six-wicket triumph in the final against India, the tournament's in-form team.Opting to bat first, India managed a modest total of 240 all out in 50 overs, with KL Rahul and Virat Kohli contributing battling half-centuries at the crowded Narendra Modi Stadium.
Although Australia faced a shaky start in their top order, Travis Head's stellar 137 off 120 balls ensured they comfortably chased down the target with seven overs to spare. The match, unfortunately, failed to reach the anticipated heights. The 132,000-capacity stadium witnessed a majority of the audience sitting in stunned silence as the home team, previously unbeaten in the tournament with 10 consecutive victories, suffered their first loss in the crucial summit clash. Reacting to Australia’s win, Pakistan cricketers took to social media platform ‘X’, to congratulate the Australia team.
