The ICC World Cup 2019 trophy should have been shared by England and New Zealand, felt Sir Garfield Sobers after both teams' scores were tied after 50 overs as well as the Super Over. However, England were awarded the final because their boundary count (26) was superior to that of New Zealand (17) at Lord's on Sunday.

"If the scores were level at the end of the match and also in the Super Over, how is it fair to declare England the winner? Why couldn't New Zealand be declared the joint winner?" said the greatest living cricketer from Barbados.
