5 Great moments from India vs West Indies cricket rivalry

5. ICC World T20 Semi-Finals 2016

Lendl Simmons' 82*(51) helped West Indies chase down a mammoth total against India in the ICC World T20 2016 Semi-Finals, and they went on to win the title for the second time

This massive semi-final pitted the two white-ball powerhouses of world cricket; India and West Indies, against each other in a match that would likely decide the winner of the whole tournament.

With India gunning for their first ICC trophy in three years and the West Indies for their first in four, the stakes were high. India batted first, with Rohit Sharma & Ajinkya Rahane giving a good platform before Virat Kohli took over and scored a vintage T20 half-century filled with good running between the wickets, to post a strong total of 192.

However, the West Indies came roaring back into the contest with a quickfire fifty from Johnson Charles, before Lendl Simmons & Andre Russell displayed the kind of brutal power-hitting that would take the West Indies all the way to the trophy.

The Windies managed to chase down India’s huge total with two balls to spare, and then defeated England in the final with another sensational innings of power-hitting from Carlos Brathwaite.

This tournament showcased to the world the West Indies’ incredible talent in the shortest format of the game and made them the first team to win multiple ICC World T20 trophies.
