Bizarre!
Superb
Nerve-wrecking
Astonishing
Nail-biting
The above are some of the words that come to my mind after yesterday's cricket world Cup final between England and New Zealand.
Yes, it was expected you be a tough fight.
But nobody expected it to go so far.
Both teams tied on a score of 241 after 50 overs. Then there was called super over contest of 6 balls in which each team made 15 runs.
The last ball run out was dramatic.
But England won as they had more boundaries- 4s and 6s.
Some cricket experts and former players like Gautam Gambhir are criticizing this rule.
Nevertheless English cricket players and fans must be feeling on the top of the world for winning the world Cup.
Greetings to them and a big clap for the Kiwis for fighting till the end.
But for me such a terrific match means that cricket is the real winner!!

In every game played, there's always a winner and a loser. Winning is well appreciated om how the game is played.

@ShifaLk ok I got it. I read so news which told that Ben Stokes was born in New Zealand.
The England team's coach is Trevor Bayliss, who is an Australian.
Trevor Bayliss has now been signed up by the IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad.

I happen to watch at the last 2 overs. It was tied then another extra over decide to be a winner and it was England.It was pressure to both the team as well as supporter. My younger brother was supporting to England and was happy after they win.
