West Indies created history by becoming the first nation to win the ICC World T20 twice with a dramatic 4 wicket victory over England riding on Carlos Brathwaite four consecutive sixes in the final over of the innings.
Chasing a tricky target of 156, it was Marlon Samuels, who did an encore of the 2012 final that Darren Sammy’s men had won, hitting a magnificent 85 not out off 66 balls with nine boundaries and two huge sixes.
However it was the unheralded giant Brathwaite, who showed why he commanded such a record IPL price from Delhi Daredevils scoring 34 off only 10 balls as he hit the four most important maximums of his short cricketing career.
West Indies winning the final by 4 wickets.
