What can happen in a game of cricket? The team to score the most runs wins the contest, right? But what happens when they don’t? And what when even the ‘tie-breakers’ (the Super Overs) end in a tie? And, more importantly, what when this happens on the greatest stage of the game – the ICC World Cup? Simple – Crazy Scenes!
Hosts England lifted their maiden World Cup trophy by what may well be the tiniest margin in the game – on the basis of most fours scored. We won’t speak much about the epic finale since words won’t do justice to yesterday’s craziness.
Here is how the Twitter reacted after the World Cup Finals. While some consoled New Zealand, and Kane Williamson in particular, for their determined play and resilience, others blamed ICC’s protracted rules.
Whatever be the case, one thing is sure: We are lucky to have witnessed one of the most intense, tightest, and entertaining cricket finals ever played.

Jimmy Neesham was thinking about quitting cricket a year ago and nearly won the World Cup for his country today.
Ben Stokes after what happened in the T20 WC final in 2016 , won the match for his country today.

Difficult to digest this more boundary rule. Something like sudden death- continuous super overs till a result is a better solution. Understand, wanting a definite winner but sharing a trophy is better than deciding on more boundaries. Very tough on New Zealand. #EngVsNZ
