Examples
“Morgan's men reversed their fortunes and swept into the final with three successive victories, including a memorable semi-final demolition of Australia. In the final, the rollercoaster continued, only for the heroics of Stokes to leave⟳ England as worthy champions, matching the achievement of the England women's team on the same ground two years ago.”
