The West Indies women’s and men teams became the first to win both the women’s and men’s World Twenty20 finals in pulsating matches in the Indian city of Kolkata on Sunday.
Carlos Brathwaite sensationally hit four successive sixes off Ben Stokes in the last over as the West Indies Men stunned England by four wickets to win the World Twenty20 title at Eden Gardens.
They won with just two balls to spare having needed 19 off the last over as they became the first team to lift the trophy twice.
Meanwhile, powerful half-centuries from Hayley Matthews and skipper Stafanie Taylor fired Windies women to their maiden women’s World Twenty20 crown in a thrilling win against the 3-time champions Australia.
The Windies now hold three world T20 cricket titles, with the under 19’s having won their maiden Under-19 World Cup title in February.
