"REMEMBER THE NAME, HISTORY FOR THE WEST INDIES" | Carlos Braithwaite 2016 T20 Final ENG v WI
Description
Today’s episode is one of the greatest finishes to any cricket match, let alone a t20 match. Very rarely can you describe a game of cricket with just one sentence, the 2019 World Cup is “the barest of margins” is one other I can think of.
This weeks episode is simply “Remember the Name”
That’s right it’s the 2016 World Cup Final between England and West Indies where DJ Bravos song “Champion” got some use as the West Indies became the First Nation to win a t20 World Cup twice beating England in crazy circumstances where Karlos Braithwaite hit Ben Stokes for 4 x 6s in a row in the final over to cap off a memorable game.
Today is the 5th and final installment of “The 5 most impactful games of T20 International Cricket”.
In a bid to gain some momentum and fizz for the t20 World Cup that starts in June, we have re watched and reviewed the following classic matches:
- The 2nd T20 between Australia and NZ in 2010 where Brendon McCullum made the scoop famous
- The World Cup group stage game between India and Pakistan in front of 90,000 fans at the MCG in 2022
- The first World Cup final between India and Pakistan in 2007 where the IPL was unofficially launched
- The very first t20 international between Australia and NZ in 2005 which launched the platform for the what the game looks like today.
