What is Australia’s record in the ICC Men’s ODI Cricket World Cup finals?
During the first-ever World Cup, Australia showcased impressive resilience but ultimately fell to the powerful West Indies. During the championship match, Clive Lloyd’s century drove the West Indies to a formidable total of 291 runs. They then bowled out Australia for 274, sealing a 17-run victory. In 1987, in a fiercely competitive game against their arch-rivals, Australia clinched their inaugural World Cup trophy under the esteemed leadership of Alan Border.
Between 1999 and 2007, Australia asserted absolute dominance in world cricket, clinching three consecutive titles. They were unstoppable during this era, with Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting at the helm. In 2015, rebounding from a disappointing quarter-final exit in the 2011 World Cup in India, Australia regained their status as the world’s best. They defeated New Zealand in the final, claiming their fifth World Cup title.
