IND vs AUS Finals: Travis to lead Australia's 241-point chase...
Travis Head is crushing it on this run pursuit. He has effectively snatched the game away from the Indians. Marnus Labuschagne has provided him with excellent company as the two batters have contributed more than 100 runs for the fourth wicket. The indian players had a defeated expression on their faces.
Australia's ace batsman steve smith was out for four as india rallied back with the ball in the world cup final on sunday in Ahmedabad.
Jasprit bumrah surprised Smith with a slower ball that had the right-hander lbw, and the india paceman celebrated passionately with his teammates as a near-full house of around 130,000 supporters shouted in excitement. Smith declined a review, leaving australia 47-3 from seven overs, chasing a target of 241 to win their sixth one-day international world cup victory.
At the 10-over point, australia was 60-3, with starter Travis Head 19 not out and Marnus Labuschagne still to score. Earlier, india, seeking a third world cup championship and their second on home soil after winning in 2011, were bowled for 240 after being called into bat. Mitchell Starc took 3-55 and australia captain Pat Cummins a meager 2-34 in his maximum ten overs.
