After the 2019 World Cup final at Lord’s, where England claimed their maiden ODI World Cup on the basis of boundary count as the match as well as the super over ended in a tie, a lot of cricket fans and pundits criticized ICC (International Cricket Council) for this very unfair rule.

ICC listened to all the criticism it received and on 14th October 2019, they came out with new amendments to the controversial super overrule. As per this new rule, when scores are level after a super over, more super overs will be played until one team has scored more runs than the other.

Harsha Bhogle who is known as the voice of cricket was really happy with the boundary count rule getting scrapped. The 58-year-old tweeted, “So the boundary count rule is scrapped in favor of multiple super overs. There will be many celebrations. I think the right decision has been made though the probability of what happened at the World Cup must have been almost impossibly low.”

The Indian cricket commentator from Hyderabad then went on to add a few suggestions to this rule by tweeting, “I would prefer that in a subsequent super over, the players involved in the previous one aren't available.”
