India also became the first team to lift the title three times, while New Zealand’s wait for a maiden white-ball World Cup continues.
The victory will taste particularly sweet for India since it came at a venue where they were beaten by Australia in the final of the 50-overs World Cup three years ago.
Put in to bat, India capitalized on a 98-run opening stand between Sanju Samson (89) and Abhishek Sharma (52) to rack up 255-5.
