Cricket World Cup final: New Zealand captain Kane Williamson gracious in defeat after England epic

The Hindu  

Kane Williamson's New Zealand was "shattered" after a heartbreaking loss to England in the World Cup 2019 final but the Black Caps' skipper remained magnanimous in defeat. New Zealand posted 241-8 having opted to bat, and the scores were level at the conclusion of the chase, Ben Stokes making 84 not out while Mark Wood was run out coming back for a second off the final ball that would have secured victory for England. "It certainly wasn't just one extra run, so many small parts in that match could've gone either way, congratulations to England, they've had a fantastic campaign and they deserve the victory," said Williamson, who was named player of the tournament for his 578 runs at 82.57. READ | Kane Williamson: Loss is devastating, tough to swallow "It's been challenging, the pitches have been different to what we expected, there was talk of 300+ scores but we haven't seen many, thanks to our side and the fight they showed in this campaign, it took a huge amount of heart to get us to this stage.
