Cricketing world goes berserk as England beat New Zealand once again in the Super Over

England beat New Zealand in the fifth and final T20I after a nine-run victory in the Super Over at the Eden Park, with the visitors clinching the series 3-2.

Auckland’s poor weather delayed the start for two hours, and the match was reduced to 11 overs per side.

England won the toss and op🎉ted to bowl first. The Black Caps took full advantage of a ground having⛎ very short straight boundaries to post 146/7, with Martin Guptill leading the way with a 20-ball 50.

Losing two wickets in their first seven balls, England looked to have left themselves too much to do, but Jonny Bairstow smashed five sixes in his 🌺18-bal🌠l 47, and there were contributions from Eoin Morgan (17 off 7) and Sam Curran (24 off 11).

But when Chris Jordan came▨ to the crease with England needing 13 off the last three balls, it looked like the tourists would fall short.

Remarkably, the English all-rounder hit a six off James Neesham’s fourth ball, a two, and then a four to tie the game. Like the 2019 World Cup final, the two sides would need a super over to separate them.

England scored 17 thanks to Bairstow and Morgan, and on this occasion, the Kiwis could not get going. Jordan restricted them to 🐓8, and England won the game🐻 comfortably.
