The world cup final between New Zealand and Australia actually turned out to be quite an anti climax. The match was completely one sided . Batting first New Zealand lost their first wicket without a run on board. The wicket was of Brendon McCullum. At one stage NewZealand was 39/3 when Ross Taylor and Grant Elliot steadied the innings and formed a good partnership of 111 runs.
At the begining of the batting powerplay in the 36th over New Zealand lost the wicket of Taylor and consistently kept loosing wickets after that . In fact 36 th over bowled by James Faulkner was a double wicket maiden. The next over they lost the wicket of Ronchi so suddenly from 150/3 the score became 151/6.
The rest of the batsmen were able to do very little as the entire team got out for a mere 183 runs.
In reply the Australians comfortably scored 184 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in the 34th over. Thus winning the world cup for the 5th time. They were certainly the best team of the tournament and deserving champions.
CONGRATULATIONS TO TEAM AUSTRALIA
