Former England captain Michael Vaughan quipped "We actually didn't win the World Cup?" after New Zealand's Kane Williamson revisited the controversial overthrows incident from the 2019 Cricket World Cup final.

During the final at Lord's, a throw from the outfield struck Ben Stokes' bat and deflected for four overthrows, a pivotal moment that helped England tie the match and eventually win on boundary count.

Williamson recently referenced the episode, prompting Vaughan's humorous response on social media. The 2019 final remains one of the most debated matches in cricket history.
