An stimulated West Indies clinched the ICC World Twenty20 title with a easy 36-run victory over Sri Lanka, riding on Marlon Samuels` sparkling counter-attacking knock to win a major worldwide title after over three decades. Samuels held his nerve as he smashed a heroic 78 off 56 balls to steer West Indies to 137 for six and then the Caribbeans shot out the hosts for 101 in 18.4 overs.
It is the West Indies first world title after a gap of 33 years having won the ODI World Cup back in 1979. They did victory in the Champions Trophy in 2004, but that is not measured a World Cup.
