England triumphed in the end, not because New Zealand were less talented — both teams ended up equals, not once, but twice. First, in the regular game, then in the Super Over. But England had more boundaries than New Zealand — 26 to 17 — and they won.

“What a #WorldCupfinal. Unbelievable my entire family is awake. Who u got,” Varun Dhawan tweeted.
Karan Johar wrote on Twittter, “England had a better kundli! NZ had the better game!!! #NZLvENG.”
Vivek Oberoi echoed the sentiment that the World Cup has come home, that is the country which invented the game. “The country where cricket was born 6/700 years ago, has finally won the #WorldCup for the very first time! Congrats #eng What a historic match! Truly the great sport of #cricket won today! #WC19 #WCFINAL #ENGvNZ,” Vivek said via Twitter.
Anupam Kher tweeted, “This #WorldCupFinal19 is a KILLER.”
Taapsee Pannu posted on Twitter, “England won the World Cup and New Zealand won our hearts ❤️ what a memorable match both the sides have given us #ICCWC2019.”
And for all those who said they don’t know what to do about their Sunday plans because india isn’t in the finals.
