ICC and it's stupid a*s rules. NZ deserved to win. England is plain lucky. And that ben stokes bat boundary shouldn't even be counted. Ridiculous rules. Trophy should have been shared.

Gotta fee for New Zealand.

But the overthrow rule is quite fair and won't make sense of removed.

I always have felt the short run rule is illogical.

Greatest wc final ever and one of the best odi matches in cricket history. 

 

As everyone said England had all the luck today. That hand/bat of God moment changed everything. NZ fielding was imo one of best ever showcase  in a cricket game by any team yet the catch on which Boult stepped on the boundary rope and that throw which ricocheted from stokes bat showed how unfair sports can sometimes be. 

 

Feel like crying tbh. Haven't even felt that way for team India

Easily the greatest ODI ever. Bad luck for NZ but it can't be said unfair. Wickets can't be the criteria to decide the final result as the chasing team is expected to take more risks as they HAVE to make those runs. Feeling sad for Williamson. His reaction was gut wrenching to watch but would have felt the same if England lost. Archer bowled the most important over of his career too early in his life. Happy for him.

Its actually the amount of boundaries scored in the total innings and super over which is considered for the result.. England had more in that regards..

True, but that four off the deflection, epitome of english luck today.

Yes. Let's not forget the fact that England came back from 88 for 4 against best bowling attack in this WC. It took a monumental effort and Stokes did it. 15 needed from 4 and he did it. It was sad he couldn't finish things against Aus in league match, but he did it here. Redeemed himself from the Carlos "remember the name" Braithwaite moment.

Luck has a peculiar habit of favouring those who aren't dependent on it. It was luck for sure but by saying that again n again you rob Stokes from his efforts.
