India were the dominant side coming into the final but it was Australia that played the big moments better and emerged victorious. 

Batting first, India put a below-par total of 240, primarily due to tight bowling from the Australian bowlers and some ordinary shots from the batters. Defending the target, India were off to a great start, picking three wickets inside the first powerplay. 

However, the pair of Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne hung in and ensured that Australia walked away with a dominant six-wicket win as India’s quest for an ICC trophy took another hit.
