    As mentioned, Australian opener Head has been adjudged the Man of the Match.

    He took the Aussies past 200 with Labuschagne. Head raced to his ton off 95 balls. He smashed a 120-ball 137.

    Record

    Third Australian with a ton in WC finals

    Head has become the third Australian with a ton in World Cup finals.

    Former batter Adam Gilchrist smashed 149 against Sri Lanka in the 2007 WC final, while Ricky Ponting hammered an unbeaten 140 against India in 2003.

    Overall, Head has become the seventh batter with this feat. Aravinda de Silva, Mahela Jayawardene, and Clive Lloyd are the others.

    In the semi-final, Kohli broke Sachin Tendulkar's record for scoring the most runs in a WC edition.

    The former also slammed a record-breaking 50th ODI ton.
