{{main article|2016 ICC Women's World Twenty20 final}}

Australia were appearing in the World Twenty20 final for a fourth consecutive time (and hoping to claim a fourth consecutive title), whereas the West Indies had only made it as far as the semi-finals in previous tournaments. Both teams had finished second in their groups (to New Zealand and England, respectively), but Australia went into the final as favourites.Geoff Lemon (4 April 2016).

Retrieved 4 April 2016. Australian captain Meg Lanning won the toss and elected to bat, with Australia posting what was regarded as a highly competitive total of 148/5 from their 20 overs. Lanning and Elyse Villani both scored half-centuries, while Ellyse Perry hit two sixes in a quickfire innings of 28 towards the end of the innings.Shashank Kishore (3 April 2016).

In response, the West Indian openers Hayley Matthews (66 from 45 balls) and Stafanie Taylor (59 from 57 balls) put on a partnership of 120 runs for the first wicket, setting a new team record for Twenty20 Internationals.[http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/fow/highest_partnerships_by_wicket.html?class=10;id=3867;type=team Records / West Indies Women / Women's Twenty20 Internationals / Highest partnerships by wicket] – ESPNcricinfo.
