Sammy led the West Indies in the 2012 World Twenty20 hosted by Sri Lanka. For the first time in a long time, the West Indies were considered realistic contenders for the title, a measure of how the team has matured under the auspices of Sammy. However, it was as an individual player that he came under scrutiny in the tournament. In the journey from group stages to the final, Sammy contributed 27 runs with the bat from four visits to the crease and overall bowling figures of 2/125, and drew a lot of criticism as many people felt he was keeping better players out of the side. But in the final, when it mattered most, Sammy scored 26 not out from 15 balls and took two key wickets (almost matching his batting and bowling tally for the rest of the tournament) to help his team overcome a slow start and defeat Sri Lanka.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2012/content/story/583269.html |title=West Indies no-hopers no more |first=Siddarth |last=Ravindran |work=ESPNcricinfo |date=21 September 2012 |access-date=7 October 2012}}</ref><ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2012/content/story/585988.html |title=A triumph for Sammy |first=Jarrod |last=Kimber |work=ESPNcricinfo |date=7 October 2012 |access-date=7 October 2012}}</ref><ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2012/content/current/story/585881.html |title=Samuels, Sammy give WI first world title since 1979 |first=Sidharth |last=Monga |work=ESPNcricinfo |date=7 October 2012 |access-date=7 October 2012}}</ref>
