West Indies win 2016 WT20 title beating England at the Eden Gardens

T20 is a game that can tyrn the tables in one over and that is what happened at the Eden Gardens when West Indies beat England in the final over of the match and set the stadium ablaze with their calypso dances. West Indies needed 19 runs to win, Ben Stokes had the ball and at the crease was Carlos Brathwaite - he struck Stokes for four consecutive sixes to win the match for his team.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 3 April 2016.

It was a Sunday evening and there was no India in the match - hence, it was expected to be a low key routine final match of World T20 and the two teams competing were non-Asians.
Till the 19th over of the West Indies batting, it appeared that England had won it because 19 runs were needed in the lat over. West Indies had six wickets in hand and Marlon Samuels was batting on 85. The man entrusted with defending the 19 runs in the last over was all-rounder Ben Stokes - he had a few overs earlier taken a superb boundary catch to dismiss the dangerous Andre Russell.
However, the next four deliveries from Stoles sailed for sixes off Carlos Brathwaite's bat and England did not now what had hit them. And, by virtue of this win, West Indies became the first team to lift the ICC World Twenty20 a second time.
