West Indies Vs England T20 Final 2016 Full Highlights

Okay, let's be honest. The West Indies vs England T20 final of 2016. Still gives me goosebumps. And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.

Remember that night? Kolkata was buzzing. The tension was thicker than Chris Gayle's bat.

The Setup: A David vs. Goliath Story (Kind Of)

England, the disciplined favorites. West Indies, the explosive underdogs. The stage was set for fireworks.

England had a solid team. Joe Root was in fantastic form. The WI guys, well they were a bunch of individual match winners, anyone could go off.

The Innings: Runs and Drama Galore

England batted first. Joe Root, being Joe Root, smashed a brilliant 54-off-36. Helped them reach a respectable 155.

But remember, this was T20. And 155 on that pitch? Child's play, right? ...Right?

The Chase: When Brathwaite Went Beast Mode

The West Indies chase was... well, let's just say it wasn't smooth sailing. They kept losing wickets. Pressure was mounting. The run rate was creeping up.

Chris Gayle did smack a few. But he didn't last long. The rest struggled to string partnerships.

Enter: Carlos Brathwaite. Remember the name! Remember the man!

With 19 needed off the last over. Most people thought it was over. England had won. Game, set, match!

The Last Over: Four Sixes That Shook the World

Ben Stokes to bowl. Pressure cooker situation. Imagine being Stokes right then.

SIX! SIX! SIX! SIX! Can anyone forget that over? It was pure, unadulterated carnage.

Brathwaite just kept swinging. And the ball kept sailing into the stands. Four consecutive sixes. Absolutely bonkers!

I screamed so loud my neighbors probably thought I was being murdered. Good times. #SorryNotSorry

Unpopular Opinion Time (Brace Yourselves)

Okay, here's my confession. I actually felt a tiny bit bad for Ben Stokes. Just a tiny bit!

He bowled his heart out the whole tournament. He is a phenomenal player under pressure. But the universe had other plans.

But hey, that's cricket, right? Cruel, beautiful, and utterly unpredictable.

But let's be real. West Indies deserved that win. That entire team deserved the world. They had been through a lot and were threatened by their board.

That final over wasn’t just about runs and wickets. It was about passion, pride, and proving everyone wrong.

And let’s not forget the commentary! The lines, the emotion! It was all time great.

Looking back, the 2016 T20 final was more than just a cricket match. It was a moment of pure sporting theatre.

It was a reminder that anything is possible. Even when the odds are stacked against you. That’s the beauty of cricket.

So, raise a glass (or a bat!) to the West Indies team of 2016. You gave us a final we'll never forget! Legends.
