Australia bags 5th World Cup title

Seamer James Faulkner's brilliant change-ups during the middle overs saw him end with impressive figures of 3/36 in 9 overs as the Black Caps collapsed from decent 150/3 after 35 overs to 183 all-out in 45 overs in about an hour. This was after Elliott along with Ross Taylor (40) had added 111 runs for the fourth wicket after the visitors were tottering at 39 for three. Faulkner was well complimented by the two Mitchells- Starc (2/20 in 8 overs) and Johnson (3/30 in 9 overs)- who had the opposition batsmen in trouble with pace and movement on a lively MCG track.
