England Miraculous Victory: Win World Cup

It's a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious match that offered an ultimate entertainment to the cricket lovers. England clinched a spine-tingling victory from New Zealand in the world cup, 2019's final match held at Lords Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

And then, it's merely a new experience to cricket admirers watching a super over in the world cup final match. Winning the toss, Kiwis opted to bat first. And their decision went wrong with the early departure of Martin Guptill  Henry Nicholis and Kane Williamson tested the patience of spectators with their turtle paced batting. Chris Woakes and Lian Plunkett turned destroyers of New Zealand batting attack. Subsequently, Kiwis set a mediocre target 242 to England. 

While chasing the target, England faced hiccups here and there despite 100+ partnership of Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler. The dramatic twists began in the 50th over. When the required target was set as 15 in the final over for England, Kiwis unnecessarily gave four runs through over throws. Literally, Kiwis, presented the tourney to England with this over throw. 

Now that the scores were levelled, super over became mandatory to decide the winner of the prestigious tourney. Stokes and Buttler, who built a 100+ partnership, were sent to play the super over on behalf of England. The batsmen comfortably scored 15 runs which included two boundaries in it. 

It was a flying start by Kiwis in the first three deliveries. They just needed five runs in three balls. At this juncture, they were again cursed with their poor fate. The batsmen failed in chasing the target. Though the scores were tied again, England was declared the winner of the world cup, 2019 based on the maximum number of fours scored by English batsmen in their super over. Eventually, the land that introduced the one day cricket to the world, kissed the world cup in pride.
