#5 West Indies vs England - 2016 World T20 Final

West Indies 2016
The West Indies pulled off an unlikely win over England in the final

The most recent match from our memory makes it to the list at No.5 just for the dramatic finish it had. With the hosts and pre-tournament favourites India crashing out in the semis, the West Indies garnered a lot of support from Indian fans for the final against England and to their joy, the Windies gained an early upper hand by dismissing England's top three for just 23 on the board.

Joe Root, Jos Buttler and David Willey to an extent, in the end, helped England post a competitive 155 in the end as Dwayne Bravo chipped in with the ball again with three wickets.

Root came back with the ball to get rid of the dangerous Chris Gayle and his opening partner Johnson Charles in just the second over of the chase to stun the Windies. Hero of the semi-finals, Lendl Simmons was the next to go for a duck as England were completely on top by this time but Marlon Samuels stepped up again like he did in the 2012 final with an unbeaten half-century.

But the man who hit the headlines was Carlos Brathwaite who hit four consecutive sixes off Ben Stokes in the final over in dramatic fashion to help his side win their second World T20 title.
