Australia wins Champions Trophy

CENTURION, South Africa (AP) Shane Watson guided Australia to back-to-back Champions Trophy titles and reached his century with successive sixes off the last two balls in Monday's final against New Zealand.

Chasing New Zealand's 200 for nine, Australia struggled early with the loss of Tim Paine and Ricky Ponting with just six runs on the board.

But opener Watson and Cameron White (62) put on 128 for the third wicket to set up Monday's win. Australia reached 206-4 in the 45.2 overs, with Watson clouting the last two balls from Jeetan Patel over deep midwicket and long-on to move from 93 to 105 not out.

"We needed discipline at the start," said Watson, who posted an unbeaten 136 in Australia's semifinal win over England, "It was hard to score and even to survive in the beginning."
