It was a do or die situation for both England and New Zealand on Sunday at the ICC World Cup 2019 finals. The two teams tied the match and it all came down to the super over as England was crowned the new world champions at Lord's Stadium. The 44-year-long wait for England came to an end as they won the title in their home country.
While it turned out to be a bummer for New Zealand as the number of boundaries decided the winner, they won the hearts of millions of Cricket lovers with their amazing performance. Kane Williamson took home the Player of the tournament for scoring 578 runs. And for his amazing leadership that led the Black Caps to their second World Cup final. The skipper was awarded the title by master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.
As fans praised Ben Stokes and team for their incredible performance, Kane Williamson and his team also were cheered on. Bollywood celebrities took to their social media to say that it was one of the finest moments in cricket history and some unforgettable moments that will be cherished forever.
What a #WorldCupfinal. Unbelievable my entire family is awake. Who u got

Honestly speaking @ICC has made cricket such a batsmen game and wickets really don’t matter. Its all about the batsmen scores & the wickets are treated like the lower caste. If there was equality between bowling and batting .. New Zealand would be a winner today @cricketworldcup
