=== Final === {{Main|2016 World Twenty20 final}} England and the West Indies were both contesting the tournament final for a second time, having won one previous tournament each (in 2010 and 2012, respectively). West Indian captain Darren Sammy won the toss and elected to bowl, as he had done throughout the tournament. England posted a total of 155/9 from their 20 overs, with Joe Root top-scoring with 54 runs from 36 balls. For the West Indies, Carlos Brathwaite took 3/23 and Samuel Badree took 2/16, including a maiden. The West Indies subsequently reached their target with just two balls to spare. They required 19 runs from the final over, bowled by Ben Stokes, which Brathwaite reached by hitting four consecutive sixes. Marlon Samuels scored 85 not out from 66 balls – the highest score in World T20 final history – and was named the final's Man of the Match for the second time.<ref>{{Cite web|title=WI grab title after Brathwaite 6, 6, 6, 6|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/world-t20-2015-16-901359/england-vs-west-indies-final-951373/match-report|first=Brydon|last=Coverdale|date=3 April 2016|access-date=14 January 2025|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> The match was played to a near-capacity crowd, with 66,000 people in attendance.<ref>{{Cite web|date=3 April 2016|title=VIDEO World T20 Final 2016: Highlights, Score; West Indies Beat England In Sensational Final Over|url=https://www.ibtimes.com/video-world-t20-final-2016-highlights-score-west-indies-beat-england-sensational-2347591|first=Jason|last=Le Miere|access-date=14 January 2025|website=International Business Times|language=en-US}}</ref> ---- {{Single-innings cricket match | date = {{anchor|match35}} 3 April | time = 19:00 | daynight = Yes | team1 = {{cr-rt|ENG}} | team2 = {{cr|WIN}} | score1 = 155/9 (20 overs) | score2 = 161/6 (19.4 overs) | runs1 = Joe Root 54 (36) | wickets1 = Carlos Brathwaite 3/23 (4 overs) | runs2 = Marlon Samuels 85* (66) | wickets2 = David Willey 3/20 (4 overs) | venue = Eden Gardens, Kolkata | toss = West Indies won the toss and elected to field. | motm = Marlon Samuels (WI) | umpires = Kumar Dharmasena (SL) and Rod Tucker (Aus) | report = [http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/951373.html Scorecard] | result = West Indies won by 4 wickets | notes = Marlon Samuels (WI) made the highest score in a World T20 final.<ref name="Samuels85">{{Cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2016/content/story/994909.html|title=Last-over heroics, and Samuels' finale|first=S|last=Rajesh|date=3 April 2016|access-date=4 April 2016 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> * West Indies became the first team to win both the men's and women's World Twenty20s on the same day, with the women defeating Australia by 8 wickets. * Sulieman Benn played his final T20 game. }}
