What a nail-biting match it was! New Zealand was all set to take home the trophy and they were already the champions in everyone's head. However. Jos Buttler was determined to fight till the over's last ball and boy! what an incredible show it was. While England restricted New Zealand for a tie and compelled them to play a 'super over', what they didn't know was the fact that they would ultimately lift the World Cup 2019.
