The 2019 World Cup was illuminated by extraordinary individual performances. Rohit Sharma's record-breaking run haul and Mitchell Starc's lethal bowling set new benchmarks for excellence.
Beyond the final, the tournament was packed with pivotal matches that shifted momentum, caused major upsets, and provided unforgettable drama.
Despite centuries from Root and Buttler, the hosts were stunned by Pakistan's 348, proving England's path to glory would be fraught with danger.
Chasing a modest 233, England's aggressive batting crumbled against Lasith Malinga's genius, throwing their campaign into crisis and the tournament wide open.
An all-time classic. Carlos Brathwaite's astonishing century took West Indies to the brink of an impossible win, only to be caught on the boundary in the final over.
Afghanistan pushed powerhouse India to the absolute limit, needing a final-over hat-trick from Mohammed Shami to be denied a famous victory by just 11 runs.
After 100 overs and a Super Over, both teams were tied. The winner was decided by a controversial tie-breaker: the boundary countback rule. England were crowned champions for scoring more boundaries throughout the match.
Both England and New Zealand scored exactly 241 runs in their 50 overs.
In the one-over eliminator, both teams scored exactly 15 runs.
England won by scoring 26 boundaries (fours and sixes) to New Zealand's 17, a rule that was scrapped by the ICC after the tournament.
