60*(24) vs PAK | Michael Hussey | Gros Islet, 2010

It still ranks among the greatest heists in T20 cricket. Hussey came in at 105 for 5 in the 13th over chasing Pakistan's 191 and he did the usual Hussey things: running hard, placing the ball infuriatingly well. With 34 needed off two overs, he took two leg-side boundaries off Mohammad Amir that sandwiched four hard-run doubles. And then came that last over from ace Saeed Ajmal: pulled six off the second ball, six down the ground the next, sliced cut for four, and another six - his sixth of the innings - to finish it off with a ball to spare

78 (56) & 1-15 vs SL | Marlon Samuels | Colombo (RPS), 2012

Samuels produced one of the finest T20I innings ever seen on the biggest stage of all. West Indies were 14 for 2 after the powerplay and 32 for 2 after ten overs, but on a night when their big T20 guns failed to fire, Samuels shone the brightest to turn the tide. Samuels' assault, never mind the wickets falling around him, was breathtaking, and included five sixes off Lasith Malinga. He then conceded only 15 off his four overs as West Indies won their first T20 World Cup title.

Mr. Cool should be the winner based on his all round performance which led to our first t20 title.

60 off 24 is phenomenal but Samuels was the stuff of cricket lore in that final. What a performance!
