Talking about the 2019 World Cup final, the match between England and New Zealand ended in a tie after both teams had batted their 50 overs – New Zealand getting 241/8 and England responding with 241. 

The Super Over, in operation for the first time in a World Cup final, also finished in a tie, both teams scoring 15 each, which led to the count of boundaries and according to which England had scored more boundaries so they were announced as the winner of the quadrennial tournament.
