2016 World Cup T20 final. Eng v WI

Watch the last 4 balls here: Carlos hits 4 6's in the last over...

What a 2016 World Cup T20 tournament and final at Eden Gardens?! England's batting started poorly, then recovered somewhat, thanks to Roots 54 and Buttlers 36 to reach 155. England's bowling started tremendously, Gayle, Charles and Simmons out to Root and Willey for not very many, West Indies batting recovered, courtesy of Samuels 85no, then started to slip as wickets fell, until 19 needed off the last (Stokes) over...Enter Carlos Braithwaite. What a finish...Well done to the West Indies and to Captain Sammy.

Really enjoyed having the women's tournament running along side. West Indies women beat Australia in their final at the same ground earlier in the day, with similar scores and last over finish, albeit not needing a colossal 19 off it...
