Not surprisingly, the epic match resulted in a deluge of memes, contributing to the CWC frenzy on Twitter. Moreover, while many commemorated England's win, others also appreciated Newzealand for their performance in this world cup.
England won Cup, Newzealand won hearts!
New Zealand finished on 241/8 – two more than they made against India in the semi-final!
Eoin Morgan-led England and Kane Williamson-led New Zealand faced each other in the final game of World Cup 2019 at Lord's. Both pre-tournament favorites and Kiwis were eyeing to win the title for the first time as they have never done it before despite making it to the finals several times. It was the 10th World Cup clash between the two teams.
Both the sides were equipped with world-class players who can turn the game away from the opponent side at any time. England had Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan and Jofra Archer. New Zealand possed Kane Williamson, Martin Guptill, Lockie Ferguson and Trent Boult.
