Final: ICC World Twenty20 2016 INDIA

Its England Versus West Indies in the finals of the ICC World T20 2016. Both the teams have been impressive during this year's edition, and specially West Indies, who beat India (The Host) in the Semi Final-2 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. India played very well, batting first posted a total of 192-3 with Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni being the stars for team India and Rohit Sharma and Ajinkaya Rahane getting a good start.

But it was Lendl Simmons who was the star of the day, playing his very first match of the world cup and scoring a match winning knock for his team after the big hitting Chris Gayle departed for just 5 runs by Bumrah's yorker. And we thought that India's won the game, but West Indies have 11 batsmen in the team, so even a total of 210 was not safe.

The due factor came into play, eliminating Spin factor and also eliminating India's Chances of reaching the Finals. If those No balls would not have been bowled, then maybe it would have been a different story but it's done now. Lets move on to the Final game now

Teams:

England: Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (captain), Jos Buttler (wk), Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett.

West Indies: Chris Gayle, Johnson Charles, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Bravo, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Andre Russell, Darren Sammy (captain), Carlos Brathwaite, Samuel Badree, Sulieman Benn.

This match will be played at the beautiful Eden Gardens Stadium, Kolkata. Eden Gardens will now cheer for England, that Eoin Morgan will start favourites but when it comes to West Indies, no matter where they are playing, they are the second favourite team in every cricket playing nation.

If West Indies have players like Chris Gayle, Russell, Sammy, then this tournament's enforcers have been England's Jason Roy, Joss Buttler, Joe Root.

Gayle's average at Eden Gardens is 60 with a century and 3 fifties. And he has hit 345 runs against Eng, the most he has hit against any team in T20I.

Its a 4-0 for West Indies against England in World T20s

Both teams have the fire power to chase down even 200 on their day, so it will be a run feast today at kolkata. It's a good batting wicket here at kolkata. Cheers :)
