Scorecard

West Indies won the Women’s World Twenty20 for the first time with an eight-wicket win over Australia.

Australia, seeking a fourth successive world T20 title, chose to bat and made 148-5, with Elyse Villani making the first half century in a final.

But 18-year-old Windies opener Hayley Matthews hit a stunning 66 off 45 balls with three sixes, in a stand of 120.

The Windies won with three balls to spare and will hope for a T20 double in the men’s final with England later.
