Amitabh Bachchan mocks ICC's boundary rule after England World Cup win

By Vishal Bhagat July 16, 2019 • 16:48 PM View: 3124

New Delhi, July 16 (CRICKETNMORE): Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is the latest to join the list of people criticising the International Cricket Council (ICC) for the "boundary rule" which helped England win their first men's World Cup.

On Sunday, two dramatic run-outs in the final over of England's innings took the game into a Super Over with the scores tied on 241 after the end of 50 overs against New Zealand at Lord's. However, with the Super Over also ending in a tie, the winner of the showpiece event was decided by the number of boundaries scored.
