In a clash of the Cricket World Cup co-hosts, Australia comfortably cruised to a seven-wicket win over New Zealand on this day in 2015, claiming their fifth World Cup trophy on home soil in Melbourne.

The match was arguably between the two strongest sides in the tournament, but Australia’s bowling attack, featuring Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson, left New Zealand’s bats quiet for a modest 183.

In the chase, Australia were led by Steve Smith, David Warner and Michael Clarke, who played the final ODI of his career, finishing their innings

The crowd of 93,013 on hand to witness the triumph was the largest in the Australia’s history of cricket.

Here’s what other memorable sports events happened on this day:
