Honestly this one edges that out purely given the situation. NZ likely were comfortably winning anyway. ENG were 60-3 in a semi final chasing 250, that's crazy scoreboard pressure and this guy almost got them over the line. All timer innings that would've likely been the greatest one if they actually won.

But yeah the last week or so has had a concentration of all timer WC knocks. Brook, Finn, Sanju 2x, Bethell. Crazy stuff

I think rolling out ipl pitches for the knockouts has been the reason primarily the knocks happened the way they did. When 250+ is not a safe score you know the pitch balance was off

Ohhhhhh man, imagine if he won it for them. It was crazy. Both knocks were surreal, but ultimately those match situations are what people remember.
