Vim equivalent for emacs parenthesis echo - c

Question

In emacs , when I place the cursor on a } the echo buffer displays the corresponding content of the matching {
for example:
if(a==b){
.
.
.
}
placing my cursor on } would display " if (a==b). "
Googling helped find this plugin that sounded similar
https://github.com/vim-scripts/tEchoPair/blob/master/README
I'm new to vim. I installed the plugin but I don't get the intended result.
Is there a better way to get the matching parenthesis text? If not, how do I use this plugin ?

I tried to code a tiny script ShowMatchBrace.vim (that you can put it in your .vimrc) which displays the matched line for "}" and ")" during normal mode. (You are free to do whatever you want with it)
autocmd! CursorMoved * call <SID>MatchBraces()
"This variable is for redrawing the cmd-line"
if !exists("s:brace")
let s:brace=0
endif
function! s:MatchBraces()
let l:currentPos=getpos('.')
if getline('.')[col('.') - 1] =~# '\v\}|\)'
let s:brace=1
normal! %
if getline('.')[col('.')-1] =~# '\v\{|\('
echo getline('.')
else
echohl ErrorMsg | echomsg "No match found for }|)" | echohl None
endif
elseif s:brace ==# 1
call feedkeys("\<c-l>")
let s:brace=0
endif
call setpos('.',l:currentPos)
endfunction

1 The Demo was before adding little changes to the code to include ")" case but it behaves exactly the same way as "}".
