England win maiden CWC title on boundaries as final and Super Over end in a tie Sunday July 14,2019

England were crowned world champions for the first time as they defeated New Zealand in the ICC World Cup 2019 at the Lord’s Cricket Ground on Sunday July 14,2019

The regulation 50 overs ended in a tie as both teams managed to score 241 and the resultant super over also failed to produce any clear result as they ended up scoring 15 runs each in their respective overs.

However, the hosts clinched the encounter due to a tie-break rule because they hit the most boundaries.

In the 50-over contest, England hit 24 boundaries while New Zealand had 16.

And, in the Super Over, the home team blasted two fours, and Jimmy Neesham scored a six off Jofra Archer’s bowling.

New Zealand 241/8 in 50 Overs

Most runs as captain in a single edition of the CWC

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson scripted history as he became the highest run scoring captain in a single edition of ICC Cricket World Cup on Sunday. Williamson was one run shy of going past former Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene’s record and the Kiwi star did so easily during the team’s World Cup final against hosts England at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. Williamson was tied with Jayawardene before the championship clash but after getting off the mark against England, he now takes the top spot in this illustrious list.




Jayawardene scored 548 runs in 11 innings in the 2007 edition of the tournament while Williamson took just 9 innings to equal his record and in his 10th innings, he etched his name in history books. Australian duo Ricky Ponting and Aaron Finch take the third and fourth sport respectively while former South Africa cricketer AB de Villiers complete the top five.
