I still remember all the drama that happened during the final (England vs New Zealand) match of the 2019 World Cup, at Lord's. England virtually stole the match with the help of umpire Kumar Dharmasena. There was a throw from the fielder, which got deflected by the bat of Ben Stokes and went for boundary. England broke every cricketing rule and Dharmasena supported them. Being a gentleman, Kane Williamson refused to complain and stood there silently. Unfortunately the England captain (Eoin Morgan) behaved shamelessly and never acknowledged the contribution of the umpire in his team's win.

I'll never forget those messed up memories. Umpiring was ridiculous while the ICC rules were even more ridiculous. Those fools ended up getting rid of the boundary rule thanks to all the negative criticism.

England knows damn well that they won the cup thanks to luck alone though that controversy helped make the match the craziest big tournament final to date.
No one can forget things like these because we have few really sad things related to these like England won soccer world cup and this was one of the most controversial final in soccer world cup history and then England having first ODI World Cup and this was also one of the most controversial final in ODI World Cup history even mostly we have English media crying about spirit of the game and Cricket is game of the Gentlemen, but they are having all problems under their belt.

Hopefully now in tomorrow game we will have good fight from the Kiwis which was clearly winner, but wrong decisions keep them waiting for their first big win in Cricket with recent fight in ODI series things are looking impressive and tomorrow match could be entertaining for cricket fans as well.
