The umpire who incorrectly awarded England an extra run in the last over of the Cricket World Cup final that led to a Super Over and ultimately the Black Caps' demise has admitted his mistake ‑ but he stands by it.
Kumar Dharmasena admitted in an interview with Sri Lanka's Sunday Times he incorrectly handed England six runs in the chaotic final over of the match.
He says there was a judgmental error when he sees it on TV replays now.
He says they did not have the luxury of TV replays at the ground and he will never regret the decision he made.
