What a contest! Best ever final by a mile. NZ a dive and a leap away from WC glory and England absolutely super in super over and super lucky as well. Ricochet/overthrow overthrew NZ. Couldn’t the Cup been shared!

Congratulations to England on winning the Cricket World Cup. New Zealand were outstanding and never gave up, that deflection over-throw of Stokes being a huge turning point, tragic for @BLACKCAPS , so near yet so far but they must be very proud. #CWCFinal19

Hard luck to Kane and his team. They definitely lit up this world cup. #CricketWorldCupFinal #ENGvsNZ

Jimmy Neesham, who faced five balls from Jofra Archer in the Super Over, expressed his anguish.

That hurts. Hopefully there’s a day or two over the next decade where I don’t think about that last half hour. Congratulations @ECB_cricket , well deserved.

— Jimmy Neesham (@JimmyNeesh) July 14, 2019

Thank you to all the supporters that came out today. We could hear you the whole way. Sorry we couldn’t deliver what you so badly wanted.

— Jimmy Neesham (@JimmyNeesh) July 15, 2019

Well, we witnessed a thriller for the ages.

Hello @HBO. This is how you write a finale. #CWC19
