Throwback to the finals of the ICC World Cup 2019

The final of the ICC World Cup 2019 is known to be the most thrilling World Cup final in the history of the mega-events. The two teams, Kane Williamson’s New Zealand and Eoin Morgan’s home-sided England, fought till eternity to grab the title of the ‘winners’.

After the bombastic performance from both sides, they were dragged to the super over as the score tied. The match became thrilling after the super over tied too. Ian Bishop’s craziest and full of life commentary gave the life to the match and New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum’s heartbreaking saddening reactions from the commentary panel cleared the defeat of New Zealand in the final moments when it was decided that the trophy will be lifted to the skipper whose side will be having the highest number of boundaries in the main match and super over.

England, conceding the higher number of boundaries took that advantage as Morgan’s Ben Stokes end the game with the thrills. Disappointed Williamson’s side put all the efforts they could. Thanks to Archer who grabbed Guptill to end the World Cup whose fate was harder to decide due to the equal efforts put by both sides.
