In the last over, it was a tie between two when England chased the score of 241 in 50 overs the same score made by New Zealand. People were doubtful and shocked that what in the world just happened??
However, when Super Over was called both teams made 15 runs as well and tie again.
But the number of boundaries was the only reason that England Cricket team bagged ICC World Cup Trophy 2019.
A World Cup final has just been tied off 50 overs, tied off the Super Over, and decided by superior boundary count.
