WC final ties with Indo-Pak match for viewership numbers

The nail-biting 12th ICC World Cup final which saw England beat New Zealand failed to make or break any records on Hotstar, exclusive broadcaster Star's digital platform, reports https://www.moneycontrol.com/news.

The match started with as little as three million concurrent viewers and retained numbers in the three to four million range for as long as the 42nd over of the match.

'Concurrent view' is the number of viewers who watched the stream at each second and hence fluctuates as viewers joined and left the stream. The concurrent views touched 15.6 million in the Super Over, a rarity in the World Cup, as New Zealand tied with England's score. Super Over is the tie-breaking method used in Twenty20 cricket.

The numbers match the concurrent viewers recorded during the India vs Pakistan match.
