World Cup 2019: ICC changed the rules after that controversy

ICC changed the rules of Cricket

England was named as the sixth world winner in the history of cricket last year, but the decision to make England the winner challenged the rules of cricket and even the ICC. The rules of cricket were raised after the final and the then world cricketers joined England on the way to choose England as the winner. At that time, most believed that the final decision should not be given on the rule of imposing more boundaries.

Disputed rules had to be changed

The final was definitely in England's name, but the ICC was gritty in the entire world due to the controversial boundary dispute rules. It was removed after three months. It was decided that if a final and semi-final match were to tie in the ICC tournament, the super over would continue until one team scored more than the other team. Now, this rule applies in one-day and T20 formats. But in the group stage of the tournament, if the match ends in a tie and the super over is also tied, then points will be divided equally between the two teams. The rules have changed, but a deep regret is still alive in the hearts of cricket lovers from all over the world, including New Zealand players.
