Conclusion: World Cup will be also remember for very first time after 27 Years, Round Robin Format, which everyone like this format, where every team compete each other 9 matches, Total World Cup Matches 48 Matches, out of 4 Matches has been Abandoned due to Wet Outfield or Heavy Rain interrupts. Lot if complaint about ICC organisers for scheduling on June instead of July. Then everyone makes a mockery out of it like memes, trolling to ICC, blaming revised playing condition DLS Method, Super Over tied and winner declared by no. of Boundaries, which is cruel. Cricket is a game and you’ve to have Winner rather trophy sharing. Maybe now as World Cup concluded, why not Revised Cricketing Rules should be changed because Cricket Fans wanted a Fair Game of Cricket.

Nonetheless, Congratulations To England winning their 1st Cricket World Cup at Lord’s, historic moment for England Sports and Greatest World Cup Game/Finals Ever.

That’s a Wrap! Cricket World Cup is Done and Dusted, hope you all enjoyed my Match Reviews, Stats and Analysis. Next Cricket World Cup will be Hosted by India in 2023 and Hope that host country will lift the trophy as well.
