England Snatch World Cup in Last-Ball Thriller

LONDON: (Web Desk) – Heartbreak struck Saudi Arabia in dramatic fashion as England clinched the Double Wicket World Cup in a last-ball thriller. Needing just a boundary off the final delivery to seal victory, Saudi Arabia fell agonisingly short when the ball was stopped inches inside the boundary, handing England a sensational World Cup win.

Saudi Arabia entered the final over requiring an extraordinary 42 runs. Abdul Waheed ignited hopes with four consecutive sixes, aided by a couple of wides, reducing the equation to just six runs off the final ball. With runs counting double on the last delivery, only a four was needed — but fate denied them at the final moment.
