2003: Ricky Ponting (Australia)
A second straight World Cup win for Australia when they met the former champions India in the final of 2003 final.
India sent Australia in to bat and the defending champions got off to a flying start, with Adam Gilchrist scoring 57 from 48 balls. Captain Ricky Ponting played one of his great knocks. India had no answer as Australia's No.3 who scored an unbeaten 140 from 121 balls and he was supported Damien Martyn (88 not out) for a long 234 runs stand.
Australia posted a huge total of 359-2 on the board off to which India's run chase faltered in the first over when Sachin Tendulkar was caught and bowled by Glenn McGrath, and they never recovered from the loss of their best batsman.
McGrath's 3-52 lead the way as India were bowled out for 234, giving Australia an emphatic 125-run victory.
