Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 Final between England and West Indies at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday. I am Abhishek Mukherjee, and it will be my genuine pleasure to bring you all the live cricket updates and scores of what promises to be a thrilling finale to the tournament. It is anyone’s game at the moment given that both sides are equally matched in this format. England have come a long way since their disappointing performance in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, and have charged into the final virtually unopposed.
nlike the Women’s final earlier in the day, Eden Gardens is at her best. All 65,000 seats seem to be filled. The national anthems begin. It starts with the West Indies team anthem, followed by their English national anthem.
Final XIs: West Indies: Darren Sammy (c), Denesh Ramdin (wk), Johnson Charles, Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo, Carlos Brathwaite, Samuel Badree, Sulieman Benn.
Final XIs: England: Eoin Morgan (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett.
Live match and score update: West Indies won the toss and elected to bowl. This can be an extremely crucial toss to win, for Badree and Benn will definitely crucial.
Live match and score update: Ian Bishop talks of a tinge of green on the pitch, and predicts that the ball will come on to the bat just fine throughout the match. However, in Kolkata dew is always a factor.
On the other hand, West Indies have been excellent as well. After losing a bit of steam with a defeat at the hands of Afghanistan in the league stage, they roared back with a spectacular win over India in the semi-final. England have an explosive and incredibly long batting line-up, with Jason Roy and Alex Hales at the top, and batsmen as potent as David Willey, Chris Jordan, and Liam Plunkett in the tail. What this means is that England actually do not have a tail.
