Finals

Men's Division

World Cup
The World Cup final was contested between Australia and South Africa. This final was the sixth consecutive appearance in a World Cup final and was the first for South Africa. Despite performing below expectations early in the tournament, Australia easily accounted for England in their semi final. The South African side, on the other hand, came through a tough encounter with the New Zealand side by just three runs.

In the end, Australia managed a narrow but comfortable victory to claim their sixth consecutive title.
