PM Modi congratulates Australia for fifth WC haul

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday congratulated the Australian cricket team on being crowned the winners of the 2015 World Cup. "I congratulate the Australian cricket team for yet another World Cup victory. A very good performance," tweeted Prime Minister Modi. Australia grabbed a seven-wicket win over the first-time World Cup finalists, New Zealand, thanks to an impressive unbeaten 56 by young batsman Steven Smith and skipper Michael Clarke's brilliant 74 after their bowlers produced a fiery display to reduce Brendon McCullum's men to a paltry 183 in 45 overs.
