Full Match Highlights | England Champions vs West Indies Champions | WCL 2026 | Final | M9O1T

Sheldon Cottrell supplies the salute, Dwayne Bravo takes wickets, and Lendl Simmons and Chadwick Walton finish the job with the bat. West Indies Champions' victory over England Champions in Sharjah gives this legends final a distinctly familiar cast.

Sports Central by DRM's full highlights drew about 180,000 views in eight hours, far beyond the clips channel's usual start for regular videos. Its live coverage attracted an even larger audience, while separate uploads of the chase, powerplay and trophy ceremony also ran well above their usual pace.

The highlights show England struggling after Cottrell removes Jason Roy and Bravo strikes in quick succession. Moeen Ali's half-century gives the innings some substance, but West Indies make the chase look comfortable. Chris Gayle is bowled by Ajmal Shahzad before Simmons and Walton each reach half-centuries, carrying their team to a nine-wicket title win.

Simmons is the name sending several commenters back to 2016. That connection has substance: his unbeaten semifinal innings helped West Indies eliminate India on their way to winning that year's World T20, also against England in the final. These are Champions teams in the World Championship of Legends, rather than the international sides, but the names explain the memories.

Alongside those recollections, viewers single out Gayle's catch and suggest Barbados as a future tournament host. On this upload, the conversation reaches beyond the trophy to the particular players people came back to see.
