Jimmy Neesham, Scott Styris Take Hilarious Dig at ICC’s Boundary Count Rule Following England’s Euro 2020 Final Loss
New Zealand, having made their second consecutive World Cup final in 2019 eventually lost the match due to the boundary count rule, which states that the team who hits more boundaries would win the match in case of a draw.
After England lost the Euro 2020 final to Italy on penalties, former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris and Jimmy Neesham took to Twitter to poke fun at ICC's boundary count rule, which cost New Zealand the 2019 World Cup. The match between New Zealand and England was tied even at the end of the Super Over but the latter were crowned champions because they hit more boundaries.
See Jimmy Neesham's tweet:
Why is it a penalty shootout and not just whoever made the most passes wins? 👀 #joking 😂
