Australia has lost 5 World cup matches since 1999.
The most recent loss was against NZ at Eden Park in 2015 in an absolute thriller.
Before that was India in the 2011 quarter final where India trounced Australia and went on to win the tournament.
Before that was the group match in 2011 at Colombo against Pakistan, where Pakistan blew the Aussies away and got the total in a canter.
12 years earlier at Leeds Inzimam and Wasim lead Pakistan to a ten run victory over the Aussies.
Three days earlier New Zealand easily chased down a moderate total set by the Australians.
It's curious to me that New Zealand and Pakistan have twice beaten Australia since 1999 and only India have otherwise managed to beat Australia in a world cup match.
