In 2016, the whole world witnessed an amazing T20 WORLD CUP Final contest between West Indies and England. Two innings, in the span of allotted 40 overs (cumulative of both), and almost till the 39th over, It wouldn’t be wrong to say, but England had this match in their hands. But, then The CARLOS BRAITHWAITE show ruined it for the ENGLISH aspirations.
The Eden Garden of Kolkata was the venue, where England was invited by WI after winning the toss, to bat first. England conveniently scored 155 and WI had a target of 156 to chase and etch their name as the winners of T20 world cup 2016.

West Indies started off their innings but quickly lost 3 of their wickets at the score of 11. Then Marlon Samuels and Dwayne Bravo eased up the innings for the Windies but still, there was a lot to be done before they could reach that target.
WI lost Bravo at the score of 86, but Samuels was on a different approach and held his corner strongly.
19 runs were still required to be scored, with just 6 more balls in the last over and for a final, the stakes were tough for WINDIES to win it. Out of nowhere, Windies found an unlikeliest of the savior in the name of Carlos Braithwaite.
Ben Stokes was chosen by England to bowl the last, decider over. Braithwaite was on the crease, 1st ball of the 20th over, a sixer towards the leg side. 2nd ball, another huge hit for a six. 3rd ball, it was raining sixes and 4th ball, it was game over with another mammoth sixer to flush out England’s aspiration and to establish WEST INDIES dominance in the T20 format by grasping hold of T20 WORLD CUP.
