England clinched the ICC World Cup 2019 trophy after a dramatic final at Lord's which witnessed the first-ever Super Over in the history of ODI cricket. And yet despite the Super Over the teams finished on the same score with England being declared winners as they hit more boundaries (26) than New Zealand (17) in the entire match.
The tournament provided us a lot of entertainment, happiness and heart-breaks but it also was a treat of numbers.

We take a look at few of the key stats and records from the tournament:
Each of the last three ODI World Cups have been won by home teams — 2011 edition by India, 2015 edition by Australia and now 2019 edition by England.

Ben Stokes scored 84 not out in the final, which is now the fourth highest score while chasing in an ODI World Cup final. The highest is 107* by Arvinda de Silva against Australia at Lahore in 1996.
