Finally, we can do 'curl https://host.com/script.sh | bash -' in Windows!

Yes, that's called

  irm script.ps1 | iex

Famously used in the Windows Activation Scripts.

im not exactly sure why they have chosen to execute as scriptblock, but normally, you can just do ``` irm <url> | iex ```

which essentially sends a request (curl) and runs everything (iex)
