After choosing to bowl first, Australia did well to restrict India to 240 after the home side scored 80/2 in their first 10 overs. Captain Pat Cummins played a crucial role, drying up the flow of runs and picking up the wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer.
In reply, the Aussies were led by opener Travis Head's blistering century (137) to get over the line by six wickets, with Marnus Labuschagne (58*) also playing his part in Australia lifting their sixth World Cup trophy.
'Type this with gritted teeth' - Ben Stokes congratulates Australia on World Cup win
On Tuesday, England star Ben Stokes took to X (formerly Twitter) to congratulate the victorious Australian team. He wrote,
Taken me a while to type this with gritted teeth 😉

Congrats to Pat Cummins and his Australia team on winning the World Cup,after 8 weeks of hard fought cricket there is nothing better than lifting that trophy at the end of it.
👏 👏
Stokes' tongue-in-cheek remark about 'gritted teeth' was a nod to the fierce cricketing rivalry between England and Australia. He himself knows a thing or two about lifting the World Cup trophy, as he was part of the England team that won the country's first men's World Cup in 2019.
England suffered a disappointing defense of their title, however, after finishing seventh in the points table with just three wins in nine matches.
