England captain Eoin Morgan says Black Caps had better World Cup

It's easier to say with the Cricket World Cup trophy sitting next to him, but victorious England captain Eoin Morgan believes the Black Caps had a better World Cup than England.

Where that comment sits on the scale of sincerity to modesty is hard to parse, but not in question is Morgan's admiration of his New Zealand rivals, after his England side won an incredible final thanks to the slimmest of margins - a Super Over tiebreaker.

When asked if he has any empathy for his vanquished opponent, Morgan was quick to recognise the Black Caps' performance – not just today, but throughout the tournament.

"Absolutely. Definitely. I think they've been incredible throughout the tournament. They've actually been through a better tournament than we have.
