2015 World Cup Final Result | Australia convincingly beat New Zealand to win the World Cup

[soso_killer]

Run out?

 

[nads_rocks]

Run out. Easy final for Australia. Handed on a silver platter.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Maxwell my boy

 

[Lords]

India won WC in 83 when they made 183 batting first.

Just saying.

 

[soso_killer]

Oh no!

 

[jattafridi]

Maxwell u r amazing

 

[Salma_T]

Wow just wow Australia. .......can they defend 183???

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

When was the last time we saw a competitive World Cup Final?

I can't think of any, all finals have been pretty one sided.

 

[yeh cheez]

Lets hope for AUS to lose wickets cheaply at the top of the order to make a match of this.

 

[Zeshan547]

Why all World cup finals are so boring,

 

[fasihulhaq94]

not over yet. NZ have bowled the aussies out before, can do it again

 

[Buffet]

India won WC in 83 when they made 183 batting first.

Just saying.

It will take some inspiring performance to defend 183 runs.

 

[Arsenal4PL]

India won WC in 83 when they made 183 batting first.

Just saying.

At that time 200 was a competitive total. Now 280

 

[battler]

I would have backed us to do far better after winning the toss in this pitch. Pitch has nothing and it's simply a very poor cricket by NZ batsmen.

I would have backed India also to do a lot better had we battted first in the final.
If you see Indian batsmen's dismissal in the semi's, most were out due to pressure of RR.
They would have done much better batting 1st.

 

[rollingstoned]

Can't help feeling SAF would have given Australia a much tougher contest.

 

[Juansar_07]

Henry 0 - Johnson

Spoiler

 

[Watsupdoc]

I really hope it's not a one-sided final. NZ is going to struggle though

 

[shah_1]

184 to WIN

[soso_killer]

I would have backed us to do far better after winning the toss in this pitch. Pitch has nothing and it's simply a very poor cricket by NZ batsmen.

Not only that, NZ were only 3 down in the 35th over, this is very annoying.
The heavens messed us up for what? At least they should have created world champions.
Don't get the purpose of that rain, I don't!

 

[Arsenal4PL]

Didn't nz bowl out Aussies before for 150. Why is everyone calling the match done

 

[shah_1]

2011 was somewhat competitive.

India chased it very comfortably.

 

[IndianWillow]

At the halfway mark, NZ find themselves in about the same position India were in the SF. They will need a really inspiring performance to win.

 

[Markhor]

I can't think of any, all finals have been pretty one sided.

Yeah its been very disappointing. 2011 final was OK but you'd have to go back to 1992 and before for close, competitive finals.

 

[IndianWillow]

India won WC in 83 when they made 183 batting first.

Just saying.

183 then was equal to at least 240 now.

 

[Buffet]

I would have backed India also to do a lot better had we battted first in the final.
If you see Indian batsmen's dismissal in the semi's, most were out due to pressure of RR.
They would have done much better batting 1st.

Agree with that. You guys had no chance as soon as Aus put 330 when batting first. Many talk about if and buts... But it was out of reach in semis.

NZ batsmen didn't apply themselves at all here. It was so good to win the toss and then played so poorly. Let's see if NZ can pick up some quick wickets to make a match out of it.

 

[Buffet]

India chased it very comfortably.

Match was hanging in balance till 80% of match. Final score makes it look too comfortable but it was a big chase in final. Not a close match but match was competitive for 80% of match.

 

[gani999]

Agree with VVS. If Australia bat 30 overs they take the game.

Only hope for NZ is to take wickets

 

[bigdaddymiandad]

Unfair to blame Nz really this Australian side is too good at home. Only Nz have a chance, sl were brushed off, Pakistan were swatted away, India were smacked. No team were really going to trouble the oz Sa are a quality side but aus toy with them in big games. Aus prolly gonna cruise here.

 

[Scorpion]

Aus is winning this 100%. Hope NZ can take at least 5-6 wickets and save face. These conditions suit Aus too much with their power batting, no help for spinners, fast wickets with ball coming on nicely and champion bowlers. Unbeatable really.

 

[Markhor]

Where's Kapil Dev when you need him ?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Yeah its been very disappointing. 2011 final was OK but you'd have to go back to 1992 and before for close, competitive finals.

Yeah 1992 was probably the most competitive one going by scorecard, 2011 I didn't watch it, I don't watch finals Aussies don't make it

 

[trogger]

Kiwis rolled us early in the tourney so don't feel safe yet, still have to say amazing bowling and fielding from our lot today we have had all the media and so many here telling us that you win the toss you win the game on aussie pitches but as was shown today if you have the quality you can overcome losing an important toss of the coin.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Nz will win! Australia will be bundled out under 150! Matt Henry will be the star!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

The Blackcaps are training hard, Williamson and Southee having a bowl, they are gonna give it their all. Hope we have a close game.

 

[nads_rocks]

Either this can go the group stage game with a low scoring thriller btwn the 2 or it will be Australia wasting no time in winning this.

 

[Justcrazy]

Match on

 

[Justcrazy]

250 would have made this a great game.

 

[nads_rocks]

First 10-15 overs will decide how the game goes.

 

[hamzie]

joocy start from saudi

need a malinga over
4 in 4

 

[Justcrazy]

Target is so small , Aussies need not take any risk

 

[IndianWillow]

First five overs will decide 50% of the game. NZ need two wickets in five to make a match out of this.

 

[LegendAli]

Good start by NZ, this game is definitely going to be a nail biter.

 

[hamzie]

Good start by NZ, this game is definitely going to be a nail biter.

[Logical]

For once India and Pakistan supporting one side

 

[Slog]

Smith will win it for Aus

[Chrish]

1 wicket means nothing to OZ

 

[Pakistani Pace]

[TNA]

You know there is something in the pitches where James out of all Faulkner has taken so many wickets


It cant be damn easy for the batsman

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis need to be charged up

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Come On NZ !!

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Aussies Will Take The Cup Home. I Hope I'm Wrong

If Canada was good at Cricket as is Australia, then I would definitely support Canada after Pakistan.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Oh No

 

[Laal]

The ball is not doing much for Southee.
