ICC World T20 Final,
West Indies vs England: Who said what about West Indies’ win
The West Indies despite all their problems are now World Champions in U-19, women's and men's World T20.

CHAMPION.! CHAMPION! West Indies tonight created history by becoming the first nation to win the ICC World T20 twice with a dramatic four-wicket victory over England riding on Carlos Brathwaite four consecutive lusty sixes in the final over of the innings. Chasing a tricky target of 156, it was Marlon Samuels, who did an encore of the 2012 final that Darren Sammy’s men had won, hitting a magnificent 85 not out off 66 balls with nine boundaries and two huge sixes. However it was the unheralded giant Brathwaite, who scored 34 off only 10 balls as he hit the four most important maximums of his short cricketing career.
Two finals. Two half-centuries…one unbeaten. Two man-of-the-match awards. Well done, Marlon Samuels. Big Final Player. #WI ???

#Eng should be proud of how they played throughout #WT20 and, more importantly, how they bowled today. Should’ve scored more runs though!

Brathwaite may have singlehandedly destroyed the philosophy of bowling Yorkers in the death. Scored 28 off 5 attempted Yorkers. #WT20
