England won the World Cup after a Super Over tie even could not find the winner.
England emerged the winner because of "superior boundary count".
Batting first, New Zealand scored 241 losing 8 wickets in the final of the Cricket World at Lord on Sunday evening.
Earlier, New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat first.
Nicholls was the highest scorer of the side with 55. Woakes and Plunket picked up three wickets each.
At the end of 50 overs, England ended up with the exact same score.
In the super over, both the teams scored 15 each. But England won because they had scored more boundaries.
