World Cup 2019: 5 defining moments from the tournament

#4 Archer removes Finch first ball

Archer produced a moment of brilliance to remove Finch for a first-ball duck

In their group stage game with Australia, England were hammered by 64 runs at Lord’s. Much of the damage was done by the Aussie openers, who put on a partnership of 123, with Aaron Finch scoring a hundred.

When Australia won the toss at Edgbaston in the semi-final and chose to have a bat, there will have been one or two in the England dressing room who were worried about a similar performance.

It was the complete opposite for Finch though, as he was dismissed first ball by a quite superb Jofra Archer inswinger. It was the start of a top-order collapse for Australia, as they were reduced to 14-3, and eventually limped to 223 all out.

It was never going to be enough though, and England chased the total down with over 17 overs to spare, with Jason Roy brutally smashing 85.
