New Zealand and England had headed into the super over after scores in the World Cup final were tied at 241.
Once the super over also ended in a tie with both teams making 15, the winner was decided on account of superior boundary count.
Following that nerve-wracking final, the ICC faced the wrath of fans and former players over the controversial rule.
Now it has finally made changes to the rule and in case a situation arises where both teams are tied even after the super over in a final or semifinal, the super over will be repeated until there is a clear winner.
