This painting depicts the dramatic final moment of an incredible final between England and New Zealand in the Cricket World Cup of 2019. It was the first time a One Day International final match required a Super Over, and also the first time one had been decided by a boundary count. The match has been described as one of the greatest and most dramatic in the history of the sport, perhaps the greatest match in the history of one-day cricket. Facing his first ball of the Super Over and the last of the match, Guptill hit the ball to deep mid-wicket and tried to scamper back for the winning run, but Roy's throw in to Buttler was a good. He sent the stumps crashing to the sacred turf with Guptill desperately diving well short of his crease and the England team running in wild celebration towards the famous Lords's Pavillion. A truly historic moment at the home of cricket gave the title to England for the first time by superior boundary count alone.
