LONDON - England ended their 44-year wait for a maiden 50-overs World Cup title by beating a gutsy New Zealand side on boundaries after a tied Super Over amidst heart-stopping drama on Sunday.
“I was being cooled down by Liam Plunkett, which is not a good sign. I was up and down like a yo-yo.” Back-to-back defeats by Sri Lanka and Australia in the group stage helped England rediscover the attacking brand of fearless cricket which has been the hallmark of the current team. Nicholls and captain Kane Williamson put on 74 runs to bolster the New Zealand innings but Plunkett’s two-wicket, cross-seam masterclass took the wind out of their sails.
Henry dismissed the in-form Jason Roy for 10 and Colin de Grandhomme put a struggling Joe Root out of his misery.
