ICC Responds Worl Cup Final Overthrow Controvercy

   The ball had deflected off diving Ben Stokes' bat and England were awarded one extra run.

HIGHLIGHT  The on-field umpires awarded England six Run instead of five.  



Ever since England won their maiden World Cup on Sunday, many people have questioned the rules set by International Cricket Council (ICC) and its interpretation by the on-field umpires. A major controversy emerged due to perceived misinterpretation of rules by the on-field umpires, which resulted in them awarding England one extra run. ICC for the first time has reacted on the overthrow controversy. Responding to the issue, an ICC spokesperson said it was against the policy to "comment on any decisions (made by the umpires

The umpires take decisions on the field with their interpretation of the rules and we don't comment on any decisions as a matter of policy," an ICC spokesperso was quoted as saying by Fox

The biggest controversy surrounding England's title triumph came to everyone's notice when former umpire Simon Taufel claimed that England were awarded one run extra after the ball had deflected off diving Ben Stokes' bat.

But on-field umpires Marais Erasmus and Kumar Dharmasena awarded England six runs on the third-last delivery and also brought Ben Stokes on the strike which helped them tie the match in the regulation 50 overs.
England were declared the winners on the basis of their superior boundary count after 102 overs of play couldn't separate the two teams.
