#5 England - the only team to lose the finals of every version of ICC tournament
Ben Stokes was distraught as he failed to defend 19 runs in the final overThere are quite a few things which don't have an explanation. One such phenomenon is England's failure in ICC tournaments. Despite having the best domestic infrastructure for the game, England hasn't performed the way they would have liked in the ICC tournaments.
After being unbeaten in their journey to 1979 WC final, they failed to get past the West Indies juggernaut as they lost the 60-over final by 92 runs. Eight years later they lost a 50-over final to Australia by just seven runs.
They came close to take home their first ICC trophy in 2004, but an unbeaten 71-run 9th wicket partnership from Windies' bowlers denied them the Champions Trophy. Although England went on to win the T20 World Cup in 2010, they suffered a couple of heart-breaking loss in finals after that.
First of it came in the 2013 Champions Trophy when they lost a 20-over rain affected final to India by just five runs. 2016 saw Carlos Brathwaite snatch the T20 World Cup as he smashed four sixes in the final over.
