England gave New Zealand a 16-race victory goal in the Super after both teams tied at 241 after 50 passes, and Archer conceded just 15 to deliver the title to the hosts in the boundary count.
The trophy seemed to have briefly disappeared from England's dominance when the 24-year-old started the Super Over with an open ball before Jimmy Neesham hit him with a six to leave the Black Caps who needed seven four-ball runs.

Stokes is no stranger to anguish in a high-pressure game, having conceded four straight six games in the final defeat of the T20 World Cup against the West Indies in Calcutta three years ago.
"He came to talk to me about it. He probably experienced the same emotions, the same feelings, but the fact that he was losing," Archer added.
"If we had lost today, I don't know what I would have done tomorrow. To support what he said, if we lost, there will be a T20 (World Cup) next year and he would have another chance."

"England doesn't win the World Cups very often, but when they do, blimey, they make the nation suffer for its glory," Matt Dickinson wrote in the Times.
"After an extra time for Bobby Moore and England footballers in 1966, and again for Martin Johnson and his rugby heroes in 2003, a Super Over at Lord's made this the most beautiful and spectacular way for Morgan to make history. "
Barney Ronay wrote in The Guardian: "A victory in the World Cup is a claim on many levels.
"For the players, whose names will now live in the history of English cricket as the first champions in the history of more than 50 in the nation, it is a triumph of skill, hard work and brio modernization."
