"What we've achieved today is unbelievable," a teary-eyed Marnus Labuschagne, who combined with Head in a match-winning partnership of 192, said.
"India have been the team of the tournament, but you knew if you play your best cricket, you have a chance."
Head ran backwards from cover to take a tumbling catch to get rid of the India captain.
Australia wicketkeeper Josh Inglis took five catches, which is a record in a World Cup final.
