rohit sharma hit three sixes in the first ten overs. the fun didn't last. australia have some outstanding fielders. travis head was chasing and diving. he caught it. yep, he caught it. stunned? well, no, this is stunned. virat kohli, gone — the man who breaks records with hundreds dismissed for sa. india reminded themselves, "we've got our bowlers". like mohammed shami, david warner gone for seven. like jasprit bumrah. he got steve smith, given out lbw. didn't review. but those hands of travis head were now swinging the bat and it seemed india were powerless. head made 137. victory came with seven overs to spare to outplay india here, on this occasion, exceptional. the market, money and influence in global cricket, india have all that. australia have the world cup. joe wilson, bbc news. what a win, against the odds in india's backyard. the captain gave his reaction
2:47 am
to the victory in what has been a stellar year for australia's cricketers. that's huge. that's — i think that's the pinnacle of international cricket, winning a one day world cup — especially over here in india in front of a crowd like this. you know, it's been a big yearfor everyone but our cricket team has been here in india, ashes, world test championship and to top it up with this is huge and these are the moments you'll remember for the rest of your life. we were confident that if we played well, we would get the right result but unfortunately on the day, they played better than us. and no, ithink, like i said, it is, for us, there's going— to be disappointment. there is disappointment in the dressing room and disappointment among the boys and among the support staff. but certainly, i think in time, when the dust settles, we can reflect on what i think has been a really good campaign.
2:48 am
huge disappointment, too, across india. what about those fanatical supporters? the stadium in ahmedebad was practically empty by the time australia lifted the trophy with tens of thousands making for the exits when india's defeat became inevitable. they had been so dominant, the team, in the tournament — the hosts winning all 10 of their matches on the way to the final, but they were simply outplayed. i don't know what happened. it wasjust sad. like, we have been unbeatable this entire tournament and this wasjust — i am just feeling numb right now. like, there is no feeling. i want to cry but there are no tears. just numb. very painful, very unexpected and plus, it wasn't a tough fight, to be honest. you know, it was kind of a one—sided match, so it was more painful. i feel the line—up after virat was a little slowl and they didn't do well. but up until virat,| we did really well. ok, let's get up to speed with all the football now. we've had nine matches in euro qualifying on sunday. four groups playing their final
2:49 am
round of fixtures. not too much riding on group a. scotland had already qualified for the tournament in germany next summer and they needed to beat norway to have any chance of topping their group, which would have given them a more favourable draw. they actually drew 3—3, taking the lead in the second half but then conceding a late equaliser. scotland manager steve clarke described it as a strange game, but it did give the players a chance to thank the fans for their support after such a successful campaign. spain finish top of scotland's group after beating georgia 3—1 in valladolid. a serious—looking knee injury to barcelona's teenage star gavi took the shine off that victory, though. portugal make it 10 wins out of 10 in their group — they beat iceland 2—0. slovakia, who had already qualified, beat bosnia—herzegovina 2—1 away. belgium were already sure of being at next year's
2:50 am
tournament in germany but they signed off with a 5—0 win over io—man azerbaijan. romelu lukaku scored four first half goals. he'd never done that in international football before. they finish that group unbeaten and top ahead of austria. sweden beat bottom side estonia 2—0 in the group's other game. hungary were already through, they beat montenegro. and serbia finished second in the group. they came from behind against bulgaria to draw. there are more qualifiers coming up on monday. england round off their campaign away in north macedonia. gareth southgate�*s side will finish top, no matter how they get on. they are currently six points clear of second placed italy. they were way off their best, though, last week at wembley with an unconvincing 2—0 win over malta. performance is priority. we have set a standard. we didn't reach that standard on friday. we have to get back to what we're good at.
2:51 am
there is always a chance within that to have a look at a couple of things we would like to see as well but the biggest thing is making sure we hit the level of performance we have set ourselves. formula i's return to las vegas produced one of the season's great races, the lead changing hands seven times before champion max verstappen took the honours in sunday's grand prix on the famous strip. ferrari's charles leclerc started from pole but there was drama at the first corner as verstappen pushed him wide, taking the lead and earning him a 5—second penalty. two drivers failed to finish. the most dramatic exit was that of britain's lando norris. he was taken to hospital as a precaution. he has since been released. further crashes cost british drivers lewis hamilton and george russell any hope of a podium finish. verstappen�*s time penalty saw him drop to 11th place after his first pit stop
2:52 am
but he fought back to win for the 18th time this season. some more motorsport news. britain's elfyn evans ended his season on a high by winning rallyjapan to claim second place in the world rally championship. evans sealed his eighth career victory afterfinishing more than a minute ahead of french part—time driver sebastien 0gier. kalle rovanpera completed a podium clean sweep for the toyota team. the finn clinched the driver's title last month. tennis. novak djokovic has won the end—of—season atp tour finals for a record seventh time. the serb comfortably beat home favourite jannik sinner in straight sets in turin. the italian had beaten him in the group stages but the world number one was always in control of the final. he had to sweat on his place through to the final. the serb had shared the record of six titles with roger federer, but now holds it outright.
2:53 am
one of the best seasons i've had in my life, no doubt. to crown it with a win against the hometown hero jannik, who has played amazing tennis this week, is phenomenal. i had to win the matches and not wait for them to hand me the victory and that is what i have done. i think i have tactically played different today than i have in the group stage againstjannik and overall, a phenomenal week. we also have the doubles final taking place. —— we also had the doubles final taking place. britain'sjoe salisbury and the american rajeev ram have retained their title with a straight—sets victory over granollers and zeballos, taking their winning streak at the finals to ten matches. they also won the us open earlier this year for a third time in a row. denmark's nicolai hojgaard won the season—ending world tour championship in dubai. starting the final round two
2:54 am
shots off the lead, he shot a final round of 64, which included nine birdies, as he finished on 21 under par — two shots clear. he said the victory was his sweetest and the best golf he'd played in a tournament but he's already looking ahead. we're going to regroup after this, celebrate and then, try to make a plan for what is going to happen next year. i'm very excited. it's an incredible way to finish the year and you almost want to keep going. but it's been a long season, a draining one but a good one, and i cannot wait to get to the off—season and put in work so we can be even stronger and better going into �*21i. a great end to his season. a quick reminder of our top story — australia's cricketers stunning the hosts india in the world cup final. travis head their match winner with a century. the 6—wicket victory seeing them crowned one day world champions for a sixth time.
2:55 am
lots more reaction on the bbc sport website and app but from me and the sportsday team, goodbye. hello there. the weekend has been pretty cloudy, but mild — temperatures of 15 degrees in the warmest spots on sunday. we had some rain as well. you can see some of that working across the skies here in gower, near swansea. and a bit more rain to come as well. the same area of low pressure�*s still with us, so damp weather for northern england, southern and central scotland, northern ireland. the rain not particularly heavy here but some heavier rain pushing across southern wales and southern parts of england over the next few hours. a mild start to the day on monday and we pick up that band of rain working into the south—east quickly monday morning before clearing out of the way.
2:56 am
what follows again is quite a lot of cloud. the winds coming in from a northwesterly direction and they'll be bringing some showers into wales and south west england with more persistent outbreaks of rain across the north—east of scotland. in between, it does stay quite cloudy but some breaks in the cloud every now and then. a bit of sunshine, particularly for east anglia, south east england and probably brightening up in northern ireland through the afternoon as well. temperatures still on the mild side at 12 or 13. for wednesday, we start to see a ridge of high pressure build in from the north and with that comes the prospect of some bigger breaks in the cloud, particularly across southern and central scotland, northern ireland, north west england, north—west wales as well. elsewhere, quite a bit of cloud. the thickest cloud for the far north of scotland, where a weather front will start to move its way back in. 0ur temperatures close to average, though, on tuesday. it will be a slightly cooler kind of day. wednesday, we've got some warmerair coming around the top side of our area of high pressure behind this warm front and with fronts crossing scotland, it's here where we'll have the thickest cloud outbreaks of rain. it's going to be quite windy as well. the heaviest rain for western scotland. the rain probably not amounting to too much across eastern scotland.
2:57 am
drier further south for southern eastern wales, the midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england — that's probably where we'll see the best in the breaks in the cloud in the cloud, the best of the day's sunshine. temperatures around 11—14 degrees so, again, it's mild. now, towards the end of the week, we are going to see some more significant changes as a cold front dives southwards and starts to introduce some much colder air. question marks how far south this cold air gets and exactly how cold it will be when it arrives. however, it does look like we'll all see a significant drop in temperatures and it could get cold enough to see some snowfall over the mountains of northern scotland, so one to watch. bye for now.
