India may be where the heart of the game now resides, but the coolest Head in cricket has once again been shown to be Australian. Travis Head, to be precise, who set up his side's record-extending sixth World Cup victory with a triumphantly paced 137 from 120 balls in Ahmedabad, but whose most significant contribution arguably came some six-and-a-half hours beforehand, with one of the most match-turning catches in ODI history. What could have been for these two groups had Head not clutched a steepling, rambling take, running in reverse into the covers to cut off India's commander, Rohit Sharma, thriving? Australia's possible objective of 241 would have been essentially higher, almost certainly, and to decide by the fierceness with which India's new-ball bowlers mauled at their adversaries in the powerplay - with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami unavoidably to the front - there would have been every one of the more open doors for their pursuit to have overturned off its tightrope. All things being equal, Head hung tight, and in this manner, he applied a handbrake to an out of control innings that sounds completely delivered. On Rohit's watch, India had piled up 10 fours and three sixes in blasting along to 80 for 2 in the first powerplay. Whenever he'd gone, India marshaled only four additional fours, and 160 additional runs, across the following 40 overs. It implied they couldn't post an all out large to the point of relieving against the inescapable beginning of dew - the essential justification for why Pat Cummins had gambled with letting Rohit and Co. set the plan in any case. As Australia's triumph came slow and steady eventually, with six wickets standing and an immense 42 balls unused - an edge that would have been more prominent still however for Head's excusal to the penultimate wad of the pursuit. Determined, Glenn Maxwell pulled his most memorable ball for two to agree with his position through to a triumph target which - as destiny would have it - was the specific all out that Britain and New Zealand had been not able to divide by customary means quite a while back. However, that simplicity toward the completion didn't tell anything of the risk that had gone before it. At 47 for 3 after seven overs, with Steven Smith mysteriously neglecting to survey a lbw from Bumrah that was displayed to have struck his cushion outside off, Australia were in the main part of a sink or swim tussle against two of the most extraordinary entertainers of India's beforehand superior mission. David Warner, in what might end up being his last ODI innings, had scraped Shami's most memorable real conveyance to Virat Kohli at slip for 7, having fenced his own most memorable wad of the innings (from Bumrah) past a similar defender's boot for four, and with Mitchell Swamp's endeavor to raise a ruckus around town off their lengths finishing in a free sliced through to the guardian, the group had tracked down its full voice without precedent for the game. Yet, Marnus Labuschagne, held in Australia's beginning XI in spite of the sense, mid-competition, that he and Head were seeking a lone compartment, showed the worth of his Test pre-prominence with an unstoppable companion's job of 58 not out from 110 balls. Over by finished, show to run, he and Head broadened their significant fourth-wicket stand of 192, seeing off speed and twist the same until, at some indefinable second around the twentieth over of the pursuit, the nibble in a two-paced wicket was supplanted with the even-splashed slip of the long-guaranteed dew. At the point when Bumrah returned for the 28th over for a last shot in the dark with Australia starting to speed up away on 148 for 3, he was welcomed with three excoriated fours from Head, either side of a horrifying umpire's call appeal for lbw against Labuschagne that felt like last evidence that India's expectation had gone. At last, it was a clinical and heartlessly energy killing showcase from the most impressive champs on the planet game. Each man in Australia's XI had his impact in sucking the marrow from a challenge that, to decide by the ocean of blue in the Narendra Modi Arena's stands and the hopeful participation of the eponymous PM himself, had been planned as a crowning ritual. All things considered, the end hour of the match was welcomed in shocked quiet by a 92,453-in number group, and nothing exemplified the feeling of public disappointment very like the prize lift itself, for which Cummins was left hopeless on the platform for an entire 20 seconds before his group had the option to go along with him subsequent to tolerating their handshakes from all important focal point. Not that the absence of in-situ praise will crash Australia's pride. As Head's vital catch would eventually demonstrate, the tone for their triumph was by and by set in the field. As had been the situation in the semi-last against New Zealand, the 37-year-old Warner was their gauge, throwing himself with fervor to remove various limit balls, however while Rohit was at hand, it appeared to be that Cummins' valiant choice to bowl initially could get before long wrecked, as such countless rivals before them, by India's remarkable load of strokemakers. All things considered, he upheld his bowlers to finish the task they had begun in their exceptional competition opener in Chennai, where India's main three had all made ducks in drooping to 2 for 3, just for their shoddy objective of 200 to be taken out effortlessly. This time, the dew regardless, he calculated the tension of the enormous event could weigh more vigorously in the primary innings than the second - particularly on the off chance that his assault could make their initial forward leaps. All of which made Rohit's shortlived surge even more bold, sacrificial even, as he bore the whole obligation regarding India's powerplay proactivity, especially against Josh Hazlewood, the provocateur of that Chennai breakdown. In the way of his pursuing the pitch to meet his hard lengths, there were shades of Sachin Tendulkar's precautionary assault on Glenn McGrath in the 2003 last … besides on this event it appeared, momentarily, to work. However at that point came the unequivocal snapshot of the match - a demonstration of handling grandness that stood prompt correlation with Kapil Dev's running catch off Viv Richards at the urgent crossroads of the 1983 last. Rohit had previously hammered ten runs in two balls from Glenn Maxwell's second finished, when he ventured into one more slap over the long-off limit, and miscued high out into the covers. Travis Head followed back from point with the ball slanting high behind him, and with his eyes never leaving the award, planned his jump flawlessly to stick on with two hands.
