England won the Cricket World Cup for the first time in extraordinary circumstances, beating New Zealand by a tiebreaker of boundaries scored after the final was tied after regulation play and again following the first Super Over in the tournament’s 44-year history.<\/p>\n

England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler ran out Martin Guptill off the last ball of the Super Over on Sunday as the New Zealand opener scrambled back for a second run that would have earned the Black Caps their first world title.<\/p>\n

Both teams scored 241 after the regulation 50 overs per side, with England hitting 14 off the last over – including a six made up of two runs followed by an accidental four deflected off the bat of the diving Ben Stokes – to tie New Zealand’s 241-8.<\/p>\n

Boundaries win the World Cup? Lovers of cricket turn up for wickets (ENG 10-241, NZ 8-241) AND runs. I love both of these teams but am feeling extremely dissatisfied despite such an amazing match. Shame on all media who fail to highlight the fact that this was a tie. BOOOOOO<\/p>\n

That meant the World Cup’s first ever Super Over, which fans watched with hands around their heads and with a rule explainer required on the big screens inside the home of cricket.<\/p>\n

Stokes and Buttler were England’s first designated batsmen and they struck 15 – including two fours – off six balls delivered by Trent Boult.<\/p>\n

New Zealand pair Jimmy Neesham and Guptill also struck 15 off Jofra Archer but England won courtesy of a superior boundary count – 22 to 14 – in regulation play.<\/p>\n

New Zealand has lost two straight finals. England had previously lost three finals, including one at Lord’s.<\/p>\n

After Buttler collected Jason Roy’s throw from deep midwicket and removed the bails with his left hand, England’s players erupted in celebration – but still had an agonising wait before the decision was confirmed by the TV umpire.<\/p>\n

“OUT” read the message on the big screen after Guptill was shown to be a yard out of the crease.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
