Michael Johannink is a Black Caps super fan who bought flights and a match ticket after they beat India in the semi finals.

Michael flew to London for the match, went to the game and had the time of his life. But because it was delayed 15 minutes and then there was a Super Over, he had to leave the game early in order to catch his flight!

He listened to the super over in a cab in London with reception coming in and out, along with streaming the game on his phone in the hotel lobby.

Michael joined Daniel McHardy Afternoons on Radio Sport to share his unbelievable story.
