Twitter reacts to West Indies Vs England World T-20 final
Marlon Samuels was awarded the Man of the Match, with an unbeaten 85 runs.
LAHORE (Web DesK) – In a stunning show down, West Indies defeated England in the grand World T-20 finale to claim the title of WT20 champions, managing to chase down England’s 155 run target with 4 wickets to spare. With 19 runs remaining in the final over, nobody, especially one of England finest bowlers Ben Stokes, would have believed that they would be seeing a 6 6 6 6 figure in a single over, but that’s how Carlos Brathwaite rolled, with 3 massive sixes and then another one that was the final nail in the coffin for England. Marlon Samuels was awarded the Man of the Match, with an unbeaten 85 runs.
Here’s how the events unfolded on Twitter:
The game started usual enough; high hopes, praises, criticisms:

Brilliant effort by the WI & they will fancy this. England need to come up with something very special to win or for the WI to self destruct
