Their only defeat came against Australia, however the West Indies put up spirited show, that saw them win a game for the first time Down Under.
Hayley Matthews, who was the Player of the Match in the final of the 2016 T20 World Cup, spoke on the impact that victory could have on the current team.
"The 2016 ICC Women's T20 World Cup win gets brought up in the group from time to time, mainly because it feels like it was so long ago," Matthews was quoted in ICC.
"The older players often talk about the emotions surrounding that victory—not just what it meant for us but also for the younger girls watching as they were coming up through the system. As a team now, we're hoping to recreate that success, knowing how much of an impact it will have—not just on us but on cricket in the Caribbean, where the sport holds such huge significance," she added.
