21 days, 16 team and 34 matches - all done, and we are just a match away from discovering who the champions of ICC World Twenty20 2016 will be.

Tournament favourites India, Australia and South Africa have crashed out and two unlikely contenders will fight it out for the trophy on Sunday (April 3) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Two teams which played the fewest T20 Internationals between the last and the current World T20s have made it to the finals, and the team that handles the nerves better will emerge victorious.

Some pointers from the finals of five previous editions and a brief look into the numbers of the two teams' exploits in the tournament so far.

87 The numbers of players to feature in the five World T20 finals so far. India and Sri Lanka have fielded most players - 19 each.

3 Most World T20 final appearances for a player. Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Angelo Mathews and Lasith Malinga all featured in three finals each - 2009, 2012 and 2014. The most matches played in World T20s without ever making the final is 30 by AB de Villiers.

9 Number of players from the squad of West Indies and England to have played earlier in a World T20 final. West Indies have eight from their final in 2012, while Eoin Morgan is the only one remaining for England from 2010.

4-1 Teams winning the toss went on to win the final on four occasions so far. Pakistan in 2009 is the lone exception.

3-2 Teams chasing have won on three occasions - in 2009, 2010 and 2014. 148 by England in 2010 is the highest total chased down, while 137 by West Indies is the lowest total successfully defended in a World T20 final.

111 by Craig Kieswetter and Kevin Pietersen is the only century partnership in the final of a World T20. It is also the highest in a knockout game in World T20.
