ICC - Finals - England v West Indies
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today, the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 comes to a close. We’d like to take a moment to recognize the home of this year’s tournament: India. A gracious and capable host, India built the exceptional stage upon which today’s finest talent dazzled the world. Cheers to the host cities of Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Dharamshala, Kolkata, Nagpur, Mohali, and Mumbai!
Out of 16 exceptional teams, England and the West Indies made it to the final pitch at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, “cricket’s answer to the Colosseum.” Here’s to an exceptional championship match between two worthy contenders!
