Cricket World Cup 2003


2003 Cricket World Cup Finals

Australia beat India by 125 runs

Australia clinched their third Cricket World Cup with a thumping 125-run victory over India. Captain Ricky Ponting hit a blistering 140 as the Aussies scored a massive 359 for two - their highest-ever one-day total. Despite a fighting 82 from Virender Sehwag , India could only make 234. And in securing their third World Cup triumph, Australia also became the only side to win all of their matches in a World Cup tournament.

Cricket World Cup 1999


1999 Cricket World Cup Finals

Australia beat Pakistan by 8 Wickets

The shortest final in World Cup history. Wasim Akram won the toss and elected to bat, but his decision back-fired and none of his batsmen ever got to grips with either the wicket or the bowlers. From the moment Wajahatullah Wasti fell in the fifth over, batsmen kept walking out to bat - and back to the pavilion - with alarming frequency. Extras finished as top scorer with 25 runs in a 39-over innings in which each of the Australian bowlers picked up wickets, Shane Warne finishing with four. As they had with the ball, Australia batted with utter professionalism, although admittedly they were under no real pressure. Steve Waugh's men were given the perfect start by Adam Gilchrist who reached his fifty off 33 balls and they needed only 121 balls to reach the 133 runs needed for victory.

Cricket World Cup 1996


1996 Cricket World Cup Finals

Sri Lanka beat Australia by 7 Wickets

Sri Lanka initiated a watershed in one-day cricket at the 1996 World Cup that took them all the way to an unexpected victory. With Sanath Jayasuriya playing some of the best cricket of his career at the top of the order, their plan was to go on an all out attack in the opening 15 overs and build on that start. Everything had gone according to plan in the run-up to the final, but come that match it looked as if things may be going awry. Arjuna Ranatunga won the toss and put Australia in. The previous five finals had all been won by the team batting first. And with Mark Taylor leading from the front Australia reached 137 for one by the 27th over before attacking fielding and tight bowling stifled Australia's efforts, limiting the favourites to a score of 241. However, with Sri Lanka's openers back in the pavilion with only 23 runs on the board that target seemed far more foreboding - until Aravinda de Silva got going. After taking three wickets, he scored an unbeaten century and found able support from Asanka Gurusinha and Ranatunga, the skipper scoring the winning runs to seal a sensational win.
