Hussain's comment backfires

Hussain said cheekily that it was good to see Kiwi sports fans still smiling after recent events indicating at ir losses in ICC Cricket World Cup final and Rugby World Cup semi-final by England. His comment backfired with Doull's witty comeback when he said that at least y were outplayed in Rugby World Cup. 

To give context, England and New Zealand share a rich history of rivalry in sports. In July, England were crowned world champions despite having tied Super Over against New Zealand in a nail-biting World Cup 2019 final at Lord's. That was first time a Super Over was used in a 50-over World Cup final. Chasing 16 in Super Over, New Zealand mand 15 but England won because y scored more boundaries in match and in Super Over.

Ben Stokes had starred with an unbeaten 84 but his heroics were t eugh as New Zealand held on to a thrilling tie. Lockie Ferguson and James Neesham bagged some important wickets at death while Trent Boult gave away 14 runs in final over when England needed 15. 

England sent in Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler against Trent Boult in Super Over, and pair mand to score 15 runs. Jofra Archer was England's bowler for super over and did an exceptional job, restricting Kiwis to 15 to trigger massive celebrations in stadium and all around United Kingdom.

re was a lot of chatter and controversy around boundaries rule which helped England edge past New Zealand to lift World Cup 2019 because New Zealand played equally well and deserved trophy. This match has gone down as one of most memorable matches in ODI history and added ar chapter to ir fierce rivalry.
