June 14, 2019, will be etᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚched in the memories of England cricket fans for several generations to come as ‘The Three Lions’ went on to secure their maiden ODI World Cup title.
England previously had only one prominent ICC title, namely, the 201🐻0 T20 World Cup, which was held in West Indies.
After the 2015 World Cup debacle, 🌳under the directorship of Andrew Strauss, an🍌d leadership of Eoin Morgan, England cricket decided to revamp their limited-overs model.
From 2015 to 2019, England scored the most number of 300+ scores, shrugging off their ‘conservat🔯ive approach’.
However, their acid test arrived dᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚuring the 2019 ODI World Cup where they were deemed favourites to cl🎃inch the trophy at home.
Moreover, dark horse💞s New Zealand ensured that the host had to work hard to lift the trophy in the final of th🔯e tournament.
As it turn🤪ed out, the much-anticipated finals exceeded all expectations and turned out to be the best WC final in the history of tౠhe sport.
Not even 102 overs in the match could disti๊nguish between the two sides as both teams scored the same amount of ru📖ns.
Unfortunately, Kiwis fell victim to a loophole in the regulations of the ‘Super ♈Over’ which desig♎nated winners based on boundary count. The rule was later scrapped after vicious backlash.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss and decided to bat fir🐼st. The Black Caps posted a competitive 241.
In reply, Ben Stokes’ resolute knock🥀 of 84* ensured thatꦦ the match was tied and went into the Super Over.
The day is regarded a♉s the greatest day in sports history at London hosted two mega-events adjacently, with Roger Feder🌟er-Novak Djokovic clash for the Wimbledon Open.
The Greatest Day in Sports History?
When a World Cup final &𒊎amp; Wimbledon final happening in the same city on same day.
Enjoy 9 mins of brilliant combination of England v New Zea♈land & Federer v Djokovi💦c.
