WI grab title after Brathwaite 6, 6, 6, 6

Discount West Indies cricket at your hazard. Under four months in, 2016 is as of now a year of extraordinary festival and restoration for cricket in the Caribbean. West Indies won the Under-19 World Cup. West Indies won the Women's World T20. Also, now West Indies have won the World T20. In doing as such, Darren Sammy's men have turned into the principal group to win two World T20 competitions, having additionally triumphed in Sri Lanka in 2012.

Those are the facts. The how is all the more extraordinary. Set 156 to beat England and win the championship, West Indies found themselves needing 19 off the last over, to be bowled by Ben Stokes. Marlon Samuels, who had steered the chase, was on 85. But he was at the wrong end. This was all down to Carlos Brathwaite, the allrounder who emerged on the Test tour of Australia just a few months ago.

Six. Six. Six. Six. Work finished with two balls to save. The first was a poor ball from Stokes, down leg, clubbed over profound in reverse square. At that point a length ball pummeled down the ground over long-on. At that point over long-off. One run required. Push a solitary? Why trouble when you have the force, as Brathwaite, to crunch another six over the leg side. The West Indies players gushed onto the field in celebration. They had not just done it. They had done it in style.

And this from a group that, in the weeks prior to this competition, was stuck in another pay question with their board. However, that is for one more day. This day was about what happened on the field, and West Indies commanded the first over of the match and the last over of the match. Britain, along the way, had their own particular good and bad times, yet by taking wickets all through the pursuit gave themselves a solid possibility of guaranteeing their second World T20 title.

But if Brathwaite destroyed them at the end, Samuels was the one who chipped away at them through most of the innings. Samuels walked to the crease in the second over of the chase, when England had surprised West Indies by using Joe Root with the new ball, and he duly claimed Johnson Charles and Chris Gayle in his first over. Samuels had a mountain of work to do, and he did it, just as he had in 2012.

Samuels is a confounding cricketer, one who appears to spend long stretches in hibernation. Amid those times he resembles a Don't Care Bear. Be that as it may, when he rises, he is equipped for anything, as he appeared amid the World T20 last in 2012, when his 78 from 56 balls set up the West Indies triumph over Sri Lanka. Here when he left his hibernation, he was a Kung Fu Panda, clubbing England's bowlers and kicking them into the dust.

And he did it with limited support. England's bowling was good. David Willey picked up 3 for 20, Liam Plunkett was hard to get away, Adil Rashid cost less than six an over. Dwayne Bravo managed 25 off 27 balls but besides him, Samuels and Brathwaite were the only ones to reach double figures. Brathwaite's final score was 34 from 10 balls, not out. Notably, Root did not bowl an over after taking 2 for 9 in his first.
