Reliving Maroon Magic - Two T20I Titles in less than 24 hours

Reliving Maroon Magic - Two T20I Titles in less than 24 hours

REMEMBER THE NAME! A name that echoed the stadium of Kolkata, India in 2016 as the West Indies Men...WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!

Before the excitement of one hell of a day, let's start where the action began!

Earlier that day the West Indies Women played the big bad Aussies in the Women's T20I World Cup Finals.

Let's skip to the climax ;)...of the game. Get your minds out of the boundary drainage peeps. ANYWAY....

The rookie Hayley Matthews showed up! Who would have thought such a baby face at the time would've had such a mean streak! She knocked 66 off 44 balls...but like all good things, they must come to an OUT!

Another wicket falls and then comes Britney Cooper..she touches it to short extra midwicket...

...

...

ABSOLUTE SUICIDE!!!

or so we thought...

The fielder picks it up...AIMS...FIRES...the only thing found was the boundary rope! 4 RUNS!! The West Indies Women win their first World T20I Title!!!

Now onto the next insane moment!

Carlos Brathwaite aka Ricky single handedly destroyed the hopes of an entire team in 4 balls.. 6 6 6 6! Four Sixes!

Ben Stokes can't believe! Ian Bishop can't believe it!...the pigeons in the rafters are in disbelief too!

Only the Men In Maroon and fans in the stadium are in the moment.. a moment that will last forever..or at least till WI meet again in Australia 2020.
