Australia have defeated India by 209 runs to win their first-ever WTC mace and become the only men's team to win all ICC men's trophies The Aussies set the tone right off the first ball, going at India's bowling lineup on a pitch which wasn't deemed to be high scoring to put up a total of 469 runs in the first innings. Thereon, the bowlers took over, with Boland and co. dismantling India's batting lineup across both innings. It was an all-around collective effort from Australia, which paid off the hard work and dedication they have shown over the last two years. India will be disappointed by the fact that their 10-year winless streak in ICC trophies continues. However, what will be more disappointing for them would be their performance across the whole match. Barring Rahane, no one else really showed their very best, and Ashwin's omission from the lineup will be on the back of many people's minds for sometime. A lot to work on for Dravid and Rohit, however, this could prove to be a turning point for the better for India in the long run.

Needing to score 280 runs on the final day on Sunday to overhaul the mammoth 444 victory target set by Australia, However, the boisterous fans were left muted and dejected as Scott Boland and his fellow bowlers ripped through the Indian batting order to dismiss the world’s top-ranked team for 234 and wrap up the victory before the lunch break. In the seventh over of the day, Kohli edged fast bowler Boland to a great catch at second slip by Steve Smith and was gone for 49. Boland got Ravindra Jadeja in the same over.
