In The End, England Claimed The Cup, New Zealand The Hearts

A long-drawn championship with its starting grid harking back to May 30, finally wound to a close through seconds that stretched inexorably at Lord’s here on Sunday. The finest World Cup final since the quadrennial tournament’s inception in 1975, twisted and turned as both eventual champion England and runner-up New Zealand fought the good fight.

Drawn level at 241 after the full duration of the contest and again on par at 15 following the super-over’s conclusion, boundaries scored through the day became the last word. It was a touch unfair on New Zealand, which with 17 hits, paled to England’s 26. The boundary rule evoked questions and asked for his reaction, England captain Eoin Morgan said: “If you could give me an alternative, I would be able to compare the both. But I can’t think of an alternative at the moment. The rules are obviously set out a long time ago and we have no control over them.”
