As the dust settles on epic World Cup final, spare a thought for the winners

India Today  

Cricket World Cup 2019 runners-up New Zealand have been receiving constant support on social media from fans, cricket experts, former and present players ever since they lost the final on Sunday but all that support for the Blackcaps has sort of overshadowed England's win to the extent that some have even trolled them for the manner in which they were declared the world champions at the Lord's cricket ground on Sunday. It was a highly unlikely scenario which nobody would have even imagined in their dreams would come true in a high-profile match like the World Cup final. England captain Eoin Morgan also went on to praise Kane Williamson's side and even went on to say that the New Zealand players are great ambassadors of the game. People may or may not agree with the ICC or the way England clinched their first 50-over World Cup title, but fact remains that the rules were equal for every team and everybody knew what they were getting into before the tournament even began.
