Summary Twitter exploded with disappointed tweets by fans at an an unconvincing and dispiriting final
(Web Desk) – World Cup 2019 has been full of controversies and eerie comparisons with the past tournament held in 1992 but the final raised a lot of eye brows over ICC rules and the judgement of errors by Umpires that proved too costly, as none of the teams playing the final defeated the other.
The nerve wrecking final between England and New Zealand was followed by millions of cricket fans across continents that ended in a draw after the 50 overs were completed. This took the match to the next stage of the super over in hopes of getting a clear winner.
Both teams fought hard on every ball and it too ended in a draw bringing us to the disenchanting ICC rule book which declared England the winners over the ratio of which team scored the most number of boundaries.
This decision had resulted in a lot of furor over the ridiculous boundary count rule. Not only are fans talking about the way things were decided but cricketers and experts are also voicing their resentment over the manner in which England was declared winners in a match where no team had lost.
Twitter exploded with disappointed tweets by fans at a marvellous game that ended in such an unconvincing and dispiriting manner. Not only fans are pointing out the loopholes but have also started questioning these rules that have dampened their spirits.

This World Cup should have been shared. If England got more boundaries. New Zealand took more wickets. So the criteria is absurd. All 22 of those boys gave their everything and no one was lesser. Then why do only 11 get to feel like they were the best.
ENG won the World Cup match by 0 run. NZ lost the World Cup match by 0 run. ENG has not won the match by themselves it #ICCRules which made them win. NZ won billions hearts #ENGvNZ #shameonicc pic.twitter.com/QbwJZD4Eyw

ICC rules still need lots of improvements. Umpiring has been average in this World Cup, needs to be more automated. Weathers conditions of the host country should be well analyzed. Number of reviews should be increased. Umpires calls concept should be removed.

according to your rules in case of an overthrow the second run will be counted only when the batsman cross at the instant of throw , then how the umpires gave 6 runs( 4overthrow+2runs) instead of 5 (4 overthrow +1 run) because the batsman didnt crossed

The only people who think England won the World Cup are English fans. Everyone else knows it was a draw, and it always will be.

Simon Taufel says there was an error of judgment in awarding England six runs, instead of five, for the overthrow that hit Ben Stokes’ bat and ran to the boundary#CWC19Final pic.twitter.com/15xWeukZIu
