Travis Head's majestic century sinks Indian hearts as Australia cruise to record-extending sixth World Cup title

Hindustan Times  

India's robust and undefeated run at the World Cup 2023 was put to a screeching halt by Australia, who stormed to a record-extending sixth world title in the summit clash at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. Travis Head's 5th ODI century and a gritty fifty from Marnus Labuschagne laid waste to India's hopes as Australia comprehensively chased down 241 to win the contest by six wickets and break a billion Indian hearts as their agonisingly long wait for an ICC title extends further. Australia, now the 6-time World Champions Head, who missed the first four games of this World Cup due to a broken finger, got out on 137 when Australia needed just two more to win, and even though he couldn't hit the winning runs, during the knock, Travis emulated Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist as the third Australia batter to hit a hundred in a World Cup final. The start of Australia's chase was dented by India's new-ball bowling pair of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, who combined to take out David Warner, Mitchell Marsh and Steve Smith with just 47 on the board, but from there, Head and Labuschagne forged a partnership of 192 runs and made the chase look easier than many believed.
