The '''2016 ICC World Twenty20''' was the sixth edition of the [[ICC World Twenty20]], the world championship of [[Twenty20 International]] cricket. It was held in India from 8 March to 3 April 2016, and was the first edition to be hosted by India.

Seven cities hosted matches in the tournament – [[Bangalore]], [[Dharamshala]], [[Kolkata]], [[Mohali]], [[Mumbai]], [[Nagpur]], and [[New Delhi]]. For the second time, there were 16 participating teams, 10 of which qualified automatically due to their status as [[List of International Cricket Council members|full members]] of the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC), and another six qualifying through the [[2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier|2015 World Twenty20 Qualifier]]. The tournament was divided into three stages. In [[#Group stage|the first stage]], the eight lowest-ranked teams played off, with the top two joining the eight highest-ranked teams in the [[#Super10|Super 10]] stage. Finally, the top four teams overall contested the [[#Knockout stage|knockout stage]]. In [[2016 ICC World Twenty20 Final|the final]], played at [[Eden Gardens]], [[Kolkata]], the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] defeated [[England cricket team|England]] by four wickets. Indian batsman [[Virat Kohli]] was named the player of the tournament, while Bangladesh's [[Tamim Iqbal]] and Afghanistan's [[Mohammad Nabi]] led the tournament in runs and wickets, respectively.

== Teams ==
For the second time, the tournament featured 16 teams. All ten full members qualified automatically, joined by the six [[ICC associate membership|associate members]]: Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands, Afghanistan, Hong Kong and Oman who all qualified through the [[2015 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier]], played in [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] and [[Scotland]] between 6 and 26 July 2015.

The top eight Full Member nations in the [[ICC T20I Championship]] rankings as of 30 April 2014 automatically progressed to the [[#Super 10|Super 10]] stage, with the remaining eight teams competing in the [[#Group stage|group stage]].

=== Final ===
{{Main|2016 ICC World Twenty20 Final}}
[[England cricket team|England]] and the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] were both contesting the tournament final for a second time, having won one previous tournament each ([[2010 ICC World Twenty20|in 2010]] and [[2012 ICC World Twenty20|2012]], respectively). West Indian captain [[Darren Sammy]] won the [[Toss (cricket)|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 [[Over (cricket)#Maiden over|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 [[Six (cricket)|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|access-date=2022-12-21|website=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> The match was played to a near-capacity crowd, with 66,000 people in attendance.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-04-03|title=West Indies Stun England For T20 Title|url=https://www.ibtimes.com/video-world-t20-final-2016-highlights-score-west-indies-beat-england-sensational-2347591|access-date=2022-12-21|website=International Business Times|language=en-US}}</ref>
