The finish was made even more memorable with Ian Bishop calling it on the live broadcast, bringing back memories of 'Carlos Brathwaite! Remember The Name.' from the 2016 World T20 final.
Bishop and Brathwaite. Almost. Almost again.. @irbishi

If we mention Kolkata 2016, how can we forget Ben Stokes?
And we saw some sportsmanship on and off the field.
Hopefully, there are better days and weeks coming up at the World Cup.
Good week for the World Cup ..sun out .. close games .. lower scores .. more in it for the bowlers .. proper cricket!!
