Heta and Whitlock were in great form as they dumped out Belgium and top seeds England as they became the fifth country to win the World Cup title.

"It is life-changing," said  Whitlock after the win.

"I have dreamt about this moment my entire life and I’ve finally got there.

"It feels amazing.

"I had a great partner.

"Damon has been amazing.

"He’s a great friend, and he’s the best player on the planet right now.

"He is going to be the next world champion."

Heta started the proceedings in the final with a 4-0 whitewash of Price in the first singles before Whitlock added another 4-2 win over Clayton.

Wales produced a dramatic 4-3 win in the doubles before Heta got the better of Clayton 4-2 in the singles four to clinch the title.  

"Simon dragged me through the beginning," Heta said.

"I’m stoked for Simon and stoked for Australia with all the support we’ve had back home.

"Everything we are sacrificing being here and we’ve got the title in the bag. It’s an amazing feeling."

Australia started the day with a 2-1 win over fourth seeds Belgium before a 2-0 win over England in the semi-finals.

England’s Michael Smith and James Wade suffered a humbling whitewash against Australia despite dispatching reigning champions Scotland in the quarter-finals.
