Fans and players have descended on the Oval in London today to celebrate England's men winning the Cricket World Cup for the first time after one of the most amazing games in history.
The two sides both scored 241 in their 50 overs, making it the first tie in a World Cup final.
They then both scored 15 in the super over - cricket's equivalent of a penalty shootout.
In the end, England were crowned world champions because they'd scored more boundary fours and sixes over the whole match.
A huge celebration is planned later this morning at The Oval cricket ground in South London.
