London: Nearly a week after leading his side to their maiden World Cup title, England skipper Eoin Morgan has admitted that he finds it hard to pinpoint at which point his side managed to gain the upper hand and win the final last week at Lord’s against New Zealand.
With the final swinging both sides, the winner was decided on the basis of the number of boundaries hit after the Super Over ended in a tie.
I’m black and white. I’m normally going: ‘I know. I was there, that happened’ (but) I can’t stick my finger on where the game was won and lost,” Morgan admitted to The Times.

“I don’t think it’s fair to have a result like that when there’s very little between the sides. I don’t think there was one moment that you could say: ‘That actually cost the game there.’ It was quite balanced.”
Admitting that it was the greatest ever cricket match, Morgan said that the lack of a game changing moment made it hard for him to come to terms with what unfolded in the final. “I’m not sure winning it makes it any easier,” he pointed out. “A little bit [troubled], because there’s no defining moment that you’d say: ‘Yes, we thoroughly deserved it.’ It’s just been crazy.”
