World Cup 2019: We Had Allah With Us, Says Morgan After Lifting Trophy at Lord's

While addressing the post-match presser, the Morgan was asked was it an Irishman’s luck that won England the title

England skipper Eoin Morgan was indeed on cloud nine while lifting the World Cup trophy on Sunday for the first time ever. Several emotions were running through his head and at the same time, he needed to deal with the official formalities. While addressing the post-match presser, the Morgan was asked was it an Irishman’s luck that won England the title. He had his moment and gave one of the wittiest replies, saying, “We had Allah with us as well.” “I spoke to Adil (Rashid), he said Allah was definitely with us. I said we had the rub of the green (smiling),” he added. Morgan had the glittering trophy with him during the interaction but he doesn't expect his life to change much even despite what many would consider a life-changing day. “I hope it (life) hasn't changed that much. I enjoy my life. I lead quite a quiet one, so I hope it hasn't changed too much,” he said as softly as possible and upped the grace quotient in one go," he said. Eoin Morgan has praised New Zealand and reckons the Kiwis had a decent run in the showpiece event as they also outclassed the hot favourites -- India -- in the first semifinal of the tournament. “They've been actually through a better tournament than we have. The fact a trophy is sitting here is, you know, like I mentioned, we got the rub of the green today,” Morgan said during the post-match conference on Sunday. “New Zealand, throughout the group stages, were absolutely outstanding, very consistent and in the semifinal were very ruthless in playing against India, India are an extremely strong team,” he added. Earlier on Sunday, England became the World Cup champions for the first time in cricket history after defeating New Zealand in a pulsating final which ended in a nail-biting Super Over at Lord's.
