The match recorded the highest attendance ever (66,000) for an [[ICC World T20]] Finals until [[2022 Men's T20 World Cup final|2022]].

Before this match England and the West Indies had played each other in two [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] finals – the final of the [[1979 Cricket World Cup|1979 World Cup]] at Lord's and the final of the [[2004 ICC Champions Trophy Final|2004 Champions Trophy final]] at the Oval – both of which the West Indies won. This was also the first final between two previous champions – England won the [[2010 ICC World Twenty20|2010 World T20]] for their first ICC world championship while the West Indies won the [[2012 ICC World Twenty20|2012 World T20]].

Both teams were drawn into Super 10s Group 1 alongside Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and South Africa. They played each other in their opening game on 16 March at the [[Wankhede Stadium]] in Mumbai, with the West Indies winning by six wickets with 11 balls to spare. West Indian opener [[Chris Gayle]] scored an [[Not out (cricket)|unbeaten]] 100 runs off 47 balls, including 11 [[Boundary (cricket)|sixes]], becoming the first player to hit two T20 International centuries.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2016/content/story/983733.html|title=Gayle's 47-ball ton wipes out England|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=16 March 2016 |access-date=2016-04-03}}</ref>

Immediately before the men's final, the West Indies won the [[2016 ICC Women's World Twenty20|women's tournament]] with an [[2016 ICC Womens World Twenty20 Final|eight-wicket victory]] over three-time defending champions Australia, also at Eden Gardens, which gave them the chance to be the first to win both the men's and women's World Twenty20 on the same day.

==Road to the Final==
{{main|2016 ICC World Twenty20}}

===England===
Despite having been the [[2010 ICC World Twenty20|2010 World T20]] champions, England had not advanced past the group stage of the [[2015 Cricket World Cup|previous year's World Cup]] and had included only one member of their 2010 champion squad – Irish-born batsman and captain [[Eoin Morgan]]. Despite selecting a relatively inexperienced team, England did include players who had World Cup experience and had won [[The Ashes|Ashes]] series. They were also in the midst of a limited overs overhaul that eventually brought them victory in the [[2019 Cricket World Cup|2019 World Cup]] on home soil, with members who eventually played in both tournaments including batsmen [[Joe Root]] and [[Jason Roy]], all-rounder [[Ben Stokes]], wicketkeeper [[Jos Buttler]], fast bowler [[Liam Plunkett]] and leg-spinner [[Adil Rashid]].

After their loss to the West Indies, England beat South Africa with the highest successful run chase (229) in World T20 history before beating Afghanistan and then Sri Lanka to reach the semifinal. In the semifinal they came up against unbeaten New Zealand in Delhi. New Zealand made a strong start to be 89 for 1 after 10 overs, before tight bowling by Stokes and [[Chris Jordan (cricketer)|Chris Jordan]] kept them to 153. Opener Roy scored 78 off 44, a Man of the Match performance, to lead England to a seven-wicket victory with 17 balls remaining.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2016/content/story/992821.html|title=Roy's 78 sets up England charge to final|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2016-04-03}}</ref>

===West Indies===
Despite subpar performances in Test and ODI cricket, the West Indies entered the tournament ranked second in the ICC T20I rankings. Several members of the squad had extensive Twenty20 experience, and most had been part of the 2012 title-winning team. Off-spinner [[Sunil Narine]] and all-rounder [[Kieron Pollard]] were notable exceptions, but the Windies still fielded power-hitting all-rounders [[Chris Gayle]], [[Andre Russell]] and [[Marlon Samuels]] in addition to captain [[Darren Sammy]] among others.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/978769.html|title=T20 specialists give weakened West Indies hope|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2016-04-03}}</ref>

After prevailing against England, they defeated Sri Lanka in a rematch of the 2012 final and then South Africa. They suffered an upset loss to Afghanistan in their final group match, but with first place in the group already secured. In the semifinal they came up against the hosts India in Mumbai, and India batted first with [[Virat Kohli]]'s unbeaten 89 off 47 propelling India to 192/2 in their 20 overs. In reply, Gayle was bowled for just 5 and Samuels was dismissed soon after to leave the West Indies in trouble at 19/2. However, power hitting saw the West Indies home, with Russell's six off Kohli with two balls to spare clinching a win by seven wickets. Late replacement [[Lendl Simmons]] led the chase, surviving being caught twice off [[no-ball]]s to score an unbeaten 82 off 51 balls and earn Man of the Match.<ref>{{cite web|title=World Twenty20 2016: West Indies stun India to reach final|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/35936474#:~:text=West%20Indies%20will%20meet%20England,Chris%20Gayle%20fell%20for%20five.|work=BBC|date=31 March 2016 |access-date=2016-03-31}}</ref>

===Match summary ===
The West Indies started well with Badree bowling Roy for a duck with just the second ball and fellow opener [[Alex Hales]] being caught off [[Andre Russell]] in the second over. Morgan was caught at slip by Gayle off Badree to leave England at 3/23 after 4.4 overs. Root helped England climb back into the game with 54 off 36, but he was caught playing an uncharacteristic paddle sweep off [[Carlos Brathwaite]]. [[Dwayne Bravo]] then took two wickets in three balls dropping England from 110/4 to 111/7. Batting deep, England managed to finish at 155/9 after their 20 overs.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2016/content/story/994611.html|title=WI grab title after Brathwaite 6, 6, 6, 6|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2016-04-04}}</ref>

Root was a surprising choice to bowl the second over of the West Indian innings but immediately dismissed both Gayle and fellow opener [[Johnson Charles]]. [[David Willey (cricketer)|David Willey]] subsequently had Simmons out LBW for a golden duck leaving the West Indies 11/3 in the third over. A partnership of 75 between Bravo and Samuels kept the West Indies in the game and they were still in with a chance with 45 runs needed from the last four overs. Tight bowling left them nineteen runs behind going into the final over, but Brathwaite hit four consecutive sixes off the first four balls from [[Ben Stokes]] to seal the win.<ref name=":0" />

Only three West Indian batsmen reached double figures: Samuels, Brathwaite and Bravo. Samuels finished with an unbeaten 85 off 66, the highest score in World Twenty20 final history. Brathwaite broke the record for the most runs by a single batsman in the final over of a successful chase (Brathwaite's 24 beating [[Michael Hussey]]'s 22 for Australia off Pakistan's [[Saeed Ajmal]] in the 2010 semifinals in St. Lucia). Samuels earned Man of the Match for his 85 not out for his second World Twenty20 final Man of the Match and his second final half century.

Victory meant that the West Indies had won their fourth ICC world championship after the 1975 and 1979 World Cups and the 2012 World Twenty20. They also became the first to win two men's World Twenty20s and the first to win both the women's and men's tournaments on the same day.
