Cricket world cup to England from final over! ... after totals tallied

The finals played between the England team and New Zealand team played at Lords ground in England ended with totals of both teams on an equal level and a super over was bowled in which England was able to reap the reward they anticipated for long. 

New Zealand who won the toss and elected to bat amassed a total of 241 for the loss of 8 wickets and England who batted next though collapsed at the start, because of stout-hearted batting by the middle-order skillful batsmen were able to once again build up the innings and were sailing towards the
much needed 15 runs and lost 2 wickets in the last over with England being able to complete the required 14 runs. Ben Stokes happened to bring the game scoring an unbeaten 84 runs. Where the New Zealand team was concerned, Nicholas (55) and Letham (47) displayed their skills with the bat. 

As totals of both teams tallied, the match was continued giving opportunity to the team who would score more runs in the final super over and thus clinch the trophy of victory. On that occasion, the England team who took to the bat at the beginning managed to score 15 runs with nobody falling a prey to bowlers and in that over, 2 fours were scored. It was Stokes and Butler who faced that over. 

New Zealand who replied with the bat in the over allotted to them were not able to reach that target. Though 2 runs were needed in the last over, there was a run out and thus the super over too brought the totals to a tally. What was taken into consideration next was the team that scored the biggest number of 4s and sixers. The New Zealand team had plummeted 14 fours and 2 sixers in their 50 overs while England batsmen had 22 fours and 2 sixers to their credit. As such, England who scored the most number of 4s emerged winners. In this context, the hosts England team managed to win the world cup. Ben Stokes became the Man of the Match while Kayne Williamson was the Hero of the tournament. This in fact was the first time that England who introduced the game of cricket to the world happened to win the world cup for the first time!
