Upsetting the host Sri Lanka, the dark horse of the tournament West Indies won the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 at the Premadasa Stadium on Sunday. West Indies beat Sri Lanka by 36 runs.
It was expected that Sri Lanka should have been easily chased down a target of 137, however they could not do so under pressure.
This is the first major ICC tournament West Indies won since ICC Champions Trophy in 2004.
