Hosts England turns victorious in super over of ICC World Cup 2019
Lords : There might not have been a nail biting finish in this tournament as exciting as the final match that the world has witnessed in Lords. Scores got draw after the last ball of the 50th over, then an outstanding super-over. At last the favourites of this tournament has raised the cup.
47 matches and 46 days after ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 started, it all comes down to one match. England vs New Zealand was not the World Cup final everyone imagined when the tournament kicked off at The Oval on May 30th, but no one would begrudge the two teams their day out in the sun, at Lord’s on Sunday. Neither England nor New Zealand have won the ICC Cricket World Cup before.
England entered the tournament as favourites, and while their path through the league stage turned out to be tougher than they would’ve liked, a comprehensive victory against old rivals Australia in the semi-finals means England will fancy their chances against New Zealand in the final. The Kiwis, on the other hand, managed to scrape into the top four on net run rate, and find themselves in the final after edging out India in a low-scoring semi-final at Old Trafford.
