Summary: Early evening on Sunday 14th July 2019. Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. Something unprecedented had just happened: England had won the Cricket World Cup for the very first time since the tournament’s inception in 1975. At the epicentre of England’s historic triumph was Ben Stokes, the talismanic all-rounder with an insatiable appetite for The Big Occasion. He contributed a critical 84 runs off 98 balls when England batted, a seemingly nerveless innings of discipline and maturity. Thrillingly, it was enough to tie the scores at 241 runs each, so the match reverted to a Super Over – just six balls for each side to bat in the ultimate in sporting sudden-death. Stokes and Jos Buttler saw England to 15 runs off their over. When it was finally confirmed that Martin Guptill had been run out off the very last ball of New Zealand’s Super Over with the scores level once again, England had astonishingly won on the boundary count-back, and the nation could finally breathe again.
