England sprang back from their slump and defeated the Australians for the third time in a row. They now have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the Best of Three finals.
They won the second final by 34 runs (D/L method).
Do you think that England has discovered cracks in the Aussie armor? Maybe England will be the World Cup winners. Who knows. They managed to defeat the Aussies without Kevin Pieterson.
This World Cup is definitely one of the most open World Cups in Cricket history.

Hi nishant, thanks for echoing my sentiments. Hope you have seen my earlier post regarding this, "Australia- are they loosing their invincibility?". I think the retirement of their key players and injury to symonds have caused definite drawbacks in their world cup preparation. This is the time to exploit it. I think barring the minnows, any other team is capable of beating them in this world cup more easily than ever before. Moreover, some of the new aussie blokes haven't yet faced quality spin. And yes, this is the most "open" of all world cups and the winner is going to be a mystery till the final ball is bowled. As usual, let's pray for india's glory. Thanks.

Unassailable lead, hey its over. England has dont the impossible and have actually beaten Aussies. They have lifted themselves well enough to come back from the white wash they got from Aussies in test series

I thought like in other ODI and Test series, they would play the third match as well.
