West Indies are WT20 2016 Champion

KOLKATA: After a breathtaking final over, requiring 19 off the last over, Brathwaite hits four consecutive sixes to win the game for West Indies, beating England by 4 wickets to lift ICC WT20 2016 trophy at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

West Indian skipper Darren Sammy won the toss and chose to bowl first, relying on his batting strength.

Sammy decided to open the bowl with Badri who provided him the most important breakthrough, removing Jason Roy on second ball of the match.

Roy, who had been a firepower for England throughout the tournament, he went for naught.

Alex hales was the second one to fall for England on last ball of second over, wasn’t really ball to through wicket. he went for 1, leaving England 8-2.

Morgan, unlucky went for just five. England were in real trouble with 23-3 on the board in five overs.

It was the invaluable partnership of 61 runs between Joe Root (54) and Jose Buttler (36) which really helped England rebuild their innings, but once the too were gone, they were in big trouble losing Moin (0), Plunket (4) and Jordan for 12.

it was Willey’s (21) firepower down the order which helped England to go past 150 mark and posted 155/9 in their 20.

West Indies’ start was a complete disaster, losing Gayle and Charles on the total of just 5 runs, then losing Semifinal Hero, Simmons for naught.

It was Samuels, (their hero for FINALS, first against Sri Lanka in 2014, and then today against England 83 unbeaten) along with Brathwaite, who finished it in style with four sixes out four balss he faced of the last over by Stokes.

West Indies, requiring 19 off the last over, Brathwaite hits four consecutive sixes to win the game for West Indies, beating England by 4 wickets.
