A jubilant England cricket team with the 2019 World Cup

The 2019 World Cup in England was a riveting one. After several teams battled it out, England and New Zealand made it to the summit clash. Both teams had not triumphed at cricket’s biggest stage and were keen to lay their hands on the trophy. The 2019 World Cup final went down to the wire. There was nothing to separate the teams after the allotted 50 overs. Both teams had scored an identical 241 runs.

So, a Super Over was called for, to decide the winner. Even then, there was nothing to separate both the teams. In the Super Over too, both the teams scored 15 runs each. So, England was declared the winners, by the virtue of having scored more boundaries as compared to the Kiwis. There was jubilation and ecstasy in the England camp. The team had finally tasted success in cricket’s biggest stage, and the players celebrated in unbridled joy.
