New Delhi: Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir believes it was unfortunate that New Zealand ended up on the losing side in the 2019 World Cup where they lost to England in the summit clash.
In the World Cup final played at the Lord's on July 14 last year, England were announced as champions on account of their superior boundary count against the Black Caps after both the stipulated overs and the subsequent Super Over ended in a tie.
England had scored 26 boundaries in total in the entire duration of the match as compared to 17 by the Black Caps and were thus crowned as champions.
"There should have been joint World Cup winners last time around. They should have gotten that tag of being World Champions, but it was unfortunate," Gambhir said while speaking on a TV show.
