Chris Gayle celebrates his century against England

West Indies took on their English counterparts in the 3rd Super 10 stage match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Three Lions posted a massive 182 runs on the board thanks to a solid overall performance by the English batting line-up.

The Caribbean side needed a solid start with the required run rate hanging around the 9.15 mark. Although the 'Men in Maroon’ was in a bit of spot of bother after having lost one of their openers, Johnson Charles in the very first over of the run-chase, it was Christopher Henry Gayle, who once again sealed the deal for the Caribbean team.

Gayle scored the first and the only century of the World Championship as he remained not out on 100 off 48 deliveries, hitting five boundaries and 11 sixes in the process.
