Despite ending up in a tie, the New Zealand cricket team ended up as the runners up of World Cup 2019 on July 14th at Lords. The England cricket team won their maiden world cup based on the number of boundaries hit by them.
The tie eventually led to the first-ever super-over in a world cup. 15 runs were needed from the super over, but, the Super Over also ended up in a tie and thus England win on more boundaries.
So close, yet so far. But so much to be proud of. #CWC19 | #BackTheBlackCaps | #CWC19Final pic.twitter.com/577aheGo3i

After the match, in the post-match interview, Kane Williamson, skipper of the New Zealand cricket team, revealed that the players of his team are left shattered after the loss but he also admitted to the fact that it wasn’t only about one run at the end.
New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham was left shattered after their narrow-defeat. After the match, Jimmy took to his twitter and in a series of tweets, he expressed his emotions after the heartbreaking defeat in the World Cup. He thanked his fans for all the support and congratulated the England team on their maiden World Cup triumph.
That hurts. Hopefully there’s a day or two over the next decade where I don’t think about that last half hour. Congratulations @ECB_cricket , well deserved.
