England edged out New Zealand in the final to win their maiden World Cup title at the Lord's Cricket Ground on Sunday.
Like Ian Botham was, Ben Stokes could well be asked one day: "Who writes your scripts?"
Even though England won the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, New Zealand gave everything they had.
England and New Zealand have assured us a brand new World Cup winner, and the cricketing world cannot thank them enough.
