Venue: Colombo

Brief Scores: WI 137-6, SL 101 all out

Match Result: West Indies won by 36 runs

Man of the Match: Marlon Samuels

Samuels will remember his knock for ages! His match-winning knock of 78, off 56 balls inclusive of half a dozen massive hits into the stands, helped West Indies claim their first ICC title since 1979! Despite wickets tumbling at the other end, a determined Samuels continued to attack the home team mercilessly in an effort to take his team to a respectable total. His efforts paid off when the Caribbean team defended a below par 137 successfully, hence being crowned the 2012 T20 World Cup winners.
