WATCH – Today in 2016: Carlos Brathwaite smoked Ben Stokes for four successive sixes to hand West Indies their second T20 World Cup

In the last over of the 2016 T20 World Cup final at 🦩Eden Gardens, West Indies needed 19 to seal an unlikely win, with England all-rounder Ben Stokes set to deliver the final over.

What ensued will live lo🐻ng in the memory of all cricket fans as Windies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite smashed four successive maximums to guide his team home with two balls to spare, leaving Stokes shattered on his haunches in the middle of the pitch.

Brathwaite grabbed the headlines, but the ‘Man of the Match’ Marlon Samuels was the real architect behind the West Indies’ victory courtesy of his 66-ball unbeaten 85 – the highest individual score in a World T20 final, beating his own record of 78, scored in 2012.
