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.[12] 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.[13]
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.[14] Matthews and Taylor were both dismissed within the final five overs, but Deandra Dottin and Britney Cooper combined to carry the West Indies to victory with three balls remaining.[15] Matthews, who turned 18 during the tournament, was named player of the final. By winning the tournament, the West Indies became only the fourth team to win a global women's cricket tournament, after Australia, England, and New Zealand.[16] In all World Twenty20 matches, only one higher successful chase has been carried out.[17]
