Australia once again emerged as winner of the world cup. The men in yellow won against New Zealand in final match and won the coveted title for fifth time.

Chasing down minimum target of 183 Australia finished it off in 33 overs. Captain Michael Clarke who is playing last ODI match scored 74 runs before he got out. He gets good support from in-form batsman Steve smith who scored half century. Aussies lost opener Finch early but David Warner scored 45 runs and paved way for victory.

Australia has played in seven of the eleven final matches (1975, 1987, 1996, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015) and won the world cup for five times which is an all time record.

Earlier in the morning despite a brilliant recovery by Ross Taylor and Elliot, Australian bowling attack bundled out Kiwis for a paltry 183 in the final of the World Cup cricket. Ausrtalian pacers Jhonson; Starc and Hazzelwood smashed the strong batting line up of Black caps.
