England were strong favourites to lift the crown heading into the final over, with the Windies needing 19 off the last six balls of the match.
But Brathwaite launched an audacious assault on Stokes, heaving him over the ropes four times in a row to seal a four-wicket success.

Joe Root’s 56 off 36 balls helped England to 155 for nine in their 20 overs at Eden Gardens and that looked like being enough to earn a second T20 World Cup.
Despite Marlon Samuels’ impressive half-century, West Indies were set to fall short going into the final six balls of the match.
But Braithwaite had other ideas and sent four huge hits over the rope to win it in style and follow up their 2012 success.
England went on to thrive in the white-ball game, lifting the 50-over World Cup two years later and winning the T20 World Cup in 2022.
