England crushed in heavy opening Cricket World Cup loss as ex-captain fumes

The rule which noticed England received the 2019 World Cup has modified.

England triumphed within the Super Over at Lord’s regardless of tying with New Zealand as a result of they’d hit extra boundaries than their opponents within the match.

But the ICC scrapped that rule late in 2019 and this yr’s match would be the first with out it.

If a Super Over is tied within the knockout phases, one other Super Over shall be performed till a result’s discovered.

On the rule change, Jos Buttler mentioned: “It’s a good job it was there at the time! I think that is a good way to keep going. Four years ago the rules were different, we play to the rules.

“It can be wonderful if it bought to that time once more, there’s clearly an opportunity. Whoever’s there, there shall be a winner ultimately.”
