India won a rain-affected final against England on Sunday at Edgbaston by five runs in a game that had been shortened to 20 overs per side. India defended a low total of 129 for 7 successfully, after England could make only 124 for 8. The win solidified India's position at the top of the One-Day International rankings. India now hold the World Cup, the Champions Trophy and the top rank in ODIs.
