One year ago on this day, the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Final witnessed a first-ever super-over in which England defeated New Zealand to lift their maiden title.
The trophy was handed to England on the basis of boundary countback rule at Lord's Cricket Ground.
The final between New Zealand and England on July 14, 2019, could not separate the two sides despite the 50-over match and subsequent super over.
In the super over, both teams managed to score 15 runs each but England was announced as the winner as they had hit more boundaries in the World Cup final.
England had smashed more boundaries, 26, as compared to New Zealand's 17 boundaries in the match. This was the second successive time that New Zealand finished as the runners-up in the World Cup.
Recalling the epic match, netizens took to Twitter to talk about the drama that had unfolded.
