I'd give Archer POTM I think.

Stokes or Rohit for the whole WC.

Well done England, just catching up with it all..

The only team to be bowled out batting second and win the match due to hitting more boundaries than the other team? Is that about right?

This

A hollow victory

The rules are quite frankly ridiculous

Just reading over the final few overs.

How did England win? Seems like it was destiny and no matter what NZ did, they could not change the result.

It seems strange to win the match boundaries are more important than wickets taken? Its certainly a batsmans game.

Probably head to head or group stage result should be the tiebreaker. But England won that anyway.

Yes very strange

Why the tiebreaker isnt wickets taken is baffling
