If you know the last commit message of the deleted branch you can do this:

git reflog

# search for message

fd0e4da HEAD@{14}: commit: This is the commit message I want

# checkout revision

git checkout fd0e4da 

or

git checkout HEAD@{14}

# create branch

git branch my-recovered-branch

# push branch

git push origin my-recovered-branch:my-recovered-branch
