Fans got deja vu as England and New Zealand once again had to step into the Super Over to decide the winner. It was the final T20I between the two teams, and the trophy was at stake, with 2-2 win on both sides. 

Despite rain affecting the game and making it an 11-per side match, the game was an absolute thriller. Batting first, New Zealand scored 146/5, and in reply, England got the same score in the given overs with seven wickets down.

A tie meant super over, and Jofra Archer was excited to bowl in the tie-breaker. Although Archer wasn't playing, he jokingly tweeted, "Taxi? Take me to the ground."

It was Jofra who had defended 16 runs for England in the super over of the World Cup 2019 final. Archer may not have bowled the super over; it was another Barbados-born cricketer Chris Jordan who defended 18 runs and won the game for his time. New Zealand could only manage eight runs.
