A miraculous display of big hitting by Carlos Brathwaite secured West Indies their second World T20 title. Needing 19 off the last over in the final at Eden Gardens, Brathwaite launched England's Ben Stokes for four sixes off the first four balls, making his side the first to win two World T20 titles. A combined effort by the bowlers kept England to 155 - Brathwaite chipped in with three wickets. The mainstay of the chase was Marlon Samuels, whose unbeaten 85 mirrored his heroics in the 2012 final against Sri Lanka. West Indies' powerful line-up was kept in check for the most part, though, bringing it down to a steep 19 off six. The win capped an unforgettable day for West Indies cricket: their women's team won their first World T20 title, upsetting Australia a few hours earlier.
