Carlos Brathwaite's final-over whirl will forever define the the 2016 World T20, aided by Ian Bishop's compelling, word-perfect call. "Remember the name!" But in less hectic surrounds five hours earlier, Hayley Matthews, another Barbadian, made a name for herself on one of cricket's biggest stages.

In the women's final, she flummoxed Australia's bowlers with 66 from 45 balls, opening the innings and hunting down their 148. After she popped Megan Schutt over the fence and deep midwicket, and Ellyse Perry back over her head early in the chase, the three-times women's champions never recovered.

At the start of the tournament, Matthews was 17 going on 18; by its conclusion she was the Player of the Final. "To this day I still am trying to find words for it," Matthews tells ESPNcricinfo in a discussion of her Kolkata heroics and her story to date.

Four decades ago Janis Ian sang of the pitfalls of the awkward ages - of solitude, despair and expectations routinely failing to meet reality. But Matthews' experience of those testing years strays from that narrative. Self-assured and ambitious, considered and calm, she's as impressive in conversation as she is in the middle.

"A lot of people take so long to get something like that in their lifetime," Matthews reflects. "That I could be part of that at such a young age really means a lot to me."

I would much rather have some of these girls on the windies team against Pakistan today because alas! alas! alas!We are going to be crushed in the test series. I mean imagine our main four bowlers, no matter who they pick, only Bishoo has taken 5 wickets in a test inning and that he has only done twice. We have no wicket taking bowlers that can bowl out a team. I mean Bishoo, our best bowler, is not a wicket taker with 58 wkts in 18 tests. In fact part time spinners like Chase and K. Brathwaite, both had a 5 wicket haul bowling long side Bishoo who could only take one wicket.
