New Zealand cricket team has been awarded the MCC's Christopher Martin-Jenkins Spirit of Cricket Award for 2019 for their sporting conduct in the World Cup final where the winner was decided by a 'strange decision' of boundary count. Kane Williamson's team displayed an exceptional level of sportsmanship, humility, and selflessness in defeat, after a heart-sinking defeat against England in a thrilling final on July 14 in Lord's.
