2) ICC World T20 2016, India
Finals - 85 (Not Out) off 66 balls against England
The Windies once again went in as one of the hot favourites to win the ICC World T20 tournament courtesy their star-studded line-up of destructive stroke players, who were outright match winners in their own merit. The Windies lived up to their expectation by cruising through the group stages and then won a couple of nail bitters in the knockouts.
The all-time classic final against England would always be remembered for Carlos Braithwaite’s last over batting heroics, which saw him belting Ben Stokes and sealing a sensational victory. However, Marlon Samuels again produced a master class knock of 85 off 66 balls in the finals which set the tempo for the brilliant run chase for the Windies. Samuels remained unbeaten till the very end to ensure the Windies crossed the line to seal the trophy.
Marlon’s classy knock was a befitting reply to Australian spin legend Shane Warne who had made glaring remarks in the commentary box about Marlon’s lack of intensity and undesirable fashion of losing his wicket considering his experience in international cricket.
