"That Was My Only Error": Umpire Marias Erasmus Opens Up On Controversial England vs New Zealand 2019 World Cup Final
South African cricket umpire Marais Erasmus, who officiated during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 final between England and New Zealand, opened up on his umpiring decisions that might have costed the Kiwis their maiden 50-over World Cup title back in 2019, including a controversial decision to avoid six runs to England after the ball had touched Ben Stokes' bat while running and ran towards the boundary. Erasmus was one of the on-field umpires along with Sri Lanka's Kumar Dharamsena during the epic title clash between two nations, which saw the Three Lions lift their maiden World Cup on boundary count after the regular game was tied at 241 runs each and the Super Over ended in a tie as well.
