Australia have won the Cricket World Cup by six wickets after a Travis Head century took them to victory over India.
The team were chasing a target of 241 to win the championship after bowling India out for 240 in front of a 132,000-capacity partisan crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The hosts took three early wickets before Head – with 137 runs – and Marnus Labuschagne steadied the Australian innings.
India won every single match of the tournament in the lead up to the final, while Australia lost their first two – with the pair playing each other in their opening game.
It’s the sixth time Australia have won the event.
England were knocked out of the tournament in the group stages.
