NEW DELHI: India's gut-wrenching loss against Australia in the World Cup final in Ahmedabad left each and every Indian fan heart-broken on Sunday.
Australia captain Pat Cummins led from the front and finished with impressive figures of 2/34 from his 10 overs, picking up the crucial wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer to restrict India to a modest 240. His bold decision to bowl first after winning the toss was hailed by many.
Australia then rode on Travis Head (137) and Marnus Labuschagne (58 not out)'s 192-run fourth-wicket stand to beat India by six wickets and lift the coveted trophy for a record-extending sixth time.
