The 2003 Cricket World Cup Final was a One Day International match played on 23 March 2003 at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. It was the first time that India and defending champions Australia had met. India captain Sourav Ganguly decided to field first before a crowd of nearly 32,000. After the dismissals of Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden, the Australian opening pair, Ricky Ponting (140 not out) and Damien Martyn (88 not out) were involved in a partnership of 234 runs, then an Australian record, and took the total to 359 runs at the end of the innings. Australia won the match by 125 runs to claim the title for the third time. Ponting was named man of the match for his 140, and Sachin Tendulkar, the tournament's leading run-scorer (673 runs), was awarded the man of the series. The final was Australia's seventeenth successive One Day International win, a record, and they were the first team to win three World Cups. (Full article...)
