Cricket World Cup: Heartbreak for hosts India as Australia win in final | World News<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Australia have won the Cricket World Cup by six wickets after a Travis Head century took them to victory over India.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The hosts took three early wickets before Head and Marnus Labuschagne steadied the Australian innings, Head scoring 137 from 120 balls.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
It’s the sixth time Australia have won the event, while India were seeking a third title.<\/p>\n
England were knocked out of the tournament in the group stages.<\/p>\n
Labuschagne said the Aussies’ win was “unbelievable” and the “best achievement” he had been part of.<\/p>\n
He added: “India have been the team of tournament but you knew if we played our best cricket we had a chance.<\/p>\n
“Our bowlers were sensational. Head put on a sensational display.<\/p>\n
“I’m a man of faith and believe in God but the way this has happened is unbelievable to me. I’m lost for words.<\/p>\n
“I’m thankful to the coaches for sticking with me.”<\/p>\n
