The West Indies just won their second World T20 title and it was an incredible effort from Carlos Brathwaite – four sixes from the first four balls of the last over – that won it for them.
Needing 19 from the last over, Brathwaite actually scored five extra in the cause, and the cricket world united in congratulating the Windies.
Here’s how Twitter saw the match:
India in this #ENGvWI #WT20Final must be feeling like a guy who gives his flat keys to his friend for having sex with his girlfriend.

Looks like Dwayne Bravo will have to remove ‘ Bravo is a champion’ from his song #WT20Final

Okay, if he couldn’t time the ball — and he’s struggled to thru this innings — that’s the second best thing Bravo could do anyway.
