Watch Women’s World T20 Cricket Final Live Stream: West Indies Vs. Australia — Windies Try To Stop Aussie 4-Peat
The World T20 Women’s Cricket Final will stream live Sunday as West Indies faces the prospect of trying to stop the country that has dominated women’s 20-overs cricket: Australia — a team that has won the last three Women’s T20 World Cup championships and has appeared in the final of all four editions, starting in 2009.
The West Indies women, on the other hand, have never finished higher than fourth and will appear in their first-ever Women’s World T20 final, after being knocked out in the semifinal in the last two tournaments.

Not only would a win for West Indies go down as a historic upset and bring them their first World T20 Championship, a victory would also serve as a triumph for the resurgent cricket program in the Caribbean island conglomerate.
The West Indies men will face England in their version of the T20 World Cup Final later on Sunday, and the Windies Under-19 squad took home the trophy from the U19 Cricket World Cup in February.
But the West Indies women may face the most daunting task, if they are to bring another trophy back to the islands. They face a confident Australia side — a team they have never beaten in eight previous attempts, in women’s T20 International matches going back seven years.
For West Indies’ 24-year-old, Jamaica-born skipper Stafanie Taylor, however, Australia’s well-earned reputation for romping over opponents is nothing to be afraid of.
“We are not intimidated by them. They have won three titles, we have nothing to lose,” Taylor said Saturday. “It’s the first final for us. I know there’s going to be some nerves around because it’s the first time but we just have to embrace it, just try to be calm and composed and just go out there and fight for it.”
West Indies topped New Zealand by six runs to win the first World T20 semifinal in the history of the women’s cricket program there. Watch highlights of the historic West Indies vs. New Zealand match in the video below.
