This 50-over cricket final between England and New Zealand will go down in the history of the game for time immemorial. When New Zealand replied, West Indian born Jofra Archer gave away 14 runs off the first five balls. It was AGONY for New Zealand and ECSTASY for England. There was more than ordinary interest in the final because this was the first time that two countries who had never before figured in a final England and New Zealand was contesting the final. After the stand was broken the Kiwi bowlers hit back strongly and when the last two batsmen Rashid and Wood were run out, the scores were tied with England making 241 all out.
