New Zealand ended up on the losing side despite being neck-to-neck, not only with the morale but statically too with England in the World Cup 2019 final. England was declared as the winner based on the number of boundaries in their innings, which everyone thought isn't justice.

ICC has now looked after the rule and has decided to scrap the rule. ICC introduced a new Super Over rule where teams will continue to play until an outcome. 

Former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming is happy ICC got rid of the controversial rule, despite the damage being done already. "ICC rule changes (laughs). I am happy. It was rather unusual. It was the ICC's worst nightmare that their best showcase event had to end on such a note," Fleming, the head coach of Delhi Bulls, said on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi T10 League players' draft. 

He added,  "The review of the rule was quite right. It's changed now for good."

Fleming knows what is done can not be undone, and he welcomes the latest rule. "I mean, I feel for him. The damage is done (New Zealand not winning the World Cup). It was a case of so close but yet so far. However, having said, we welcome the new rule," he said.

Chennai Super Kings head coach Fleming backed MS Dhoni to continue playing. The duo shares a good relation and has worked together for long in the Indian Premier League. "Look, I want him to play as long as possible. I have not had a chat with him recently, though. Age to me is experience and good decision making, the longer he goes, the better for us (CSK)," says Fleming on Dhoni's retirement.

Former New Zealand cricketer also come up with his opinion on the new format, T10. "Only half the overs of T20 and suddenly T20 looks slower. We need to pick different types of players for this format. I really enjoy the format, and I want the players to express themselves," he said.

Adding more, he said, "The bottom line is every strategy needs to be implemented properly. You need to get your eye in from the very first ball, and there will be a lot of challenges to adapt to the format. We need to play a positive brand of cricket and as said need to implement our strategies as the time is very short."
