TIL Desk Sports/ Neither a tied game, nor a spirited New Zealand could stop England from bringing the trophy home at the Lord”s on Sunday. It finally took a Super Over for England to be crowned winners of the 2019 World Cup.
Eoin Morgan”s boys are the new world champions in the 50-over format of the gentleman”s game and the crown couldn”t have come at a better place than the historic Lord”s, the home of cricket. Ben Stokes will go down in history as one of England”s best all-rounders. After all, he managed what even the great Ian Botham failed to achieve in Australia in 1992.
England”s Mark Wood being run out off the last-ball of the innings saw the game end in a tie and a Super Over followed. The first-ever Super Over in a World Cup final saw England score 15 runs before the Kiwis also ended on 15, but the hosts won due to more boundaries scored in the game.
