We are almost two years ahead of the 2019 ODI World Cup final that took place at Lord?s London. Even after such a long time, it sees neither the New Zealand fans nor the players have forgotten the heart-wrenching loss to England. It is worth noting that both the sides had ended up scoring the same amount of runs in the stipulated quota of 50 overs each. This saw a Super Over taking place that too ended in a tie. However, England were adjudged the winners of the game on the virtue of boundary count, as per an infamous ICC rule. This was not the first time when New Zealand found themselves unlucky in an ICC knockout game despite playing their best. However, the fact that a biased and unfair rule of cricket deprived them of the coveted trophy enraged the fans and experts of the game. Due to severe bashing, the ICC got compelled to scrap the rule eventually in October 2019 and introduced a rule of repeated Super Over until one team has more runs than the other.
