We're not intimidated, say bold Windies

West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor says her team will not be overawed by the enormity of the occasion or their three-time champion opponents in Sunday's Women's World T20 final.

Instead, Taylor believes, it's the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars who should be worried.

The Windies have never advanced further than the World T20 semi-finals until now and their only previous appearance in a tournament final was in the 2013 50-over World Cup, but Taylor says that inexperience could work in their favour.

"We're not intimidated at all," the 24-year-old said on Saturday.

"If anything they should be intimidated.

"They’ve won it three times now but we have nothing to lose.

"It's really just for us to go out there and be positive. So I don't think we're intimidated, we're just trying to be relaxed."

While Taylor believes Australia - who are aiming for a fourth-straight title - should be intimidated, it's the Australians’ boldness which she has sought to emulate in her own team.

"They are fearless in everything they do," she said.

"That's one of the things I like about them and it's something I try to instill in the girls, to just go out there and play their natural game."

Taylor, who helped the Sydney Thunder win the inaugural Women's Big Bash League title in January, has scored more runs and taken more wickets than any other West Indies player this tournament and stopping her will be the key for Australia.

Allrounder Deandra Dottin, who has scored more sixes than any other female player in World T20 history, is another player Australia will have in their sights, but captain Meg Lanning said the career-best performance of top-order batter Britney Cooper in the semi-final was proof they couldn't just focus on the Windies' big guns.

"They've certainly got a number of players who can take the game away from you," Lanning said.

"Cooper hit 60 in the semi-final and played a big role there.

"We've done our homework on the big players but we're not going to just think they're the only players who are going to win the game for them.

"They've got a really settled team and they've been playing some good cricket, so we'll have to make sure we keep an eye out for all of them."

With both the Windies' women and men in the final, Taylor said it would mean a lot for the Caribbean teams to claim both trophies.

"We've been talking about it (with the men's team)," she said.

"I think words can't really explain what it would mean, especially for us (the women's team) who have never been in the final before.

"We always get knocked out in the semis, so for us to get this one would be like a dream come true."

If they do pull off an upset and lift the trophy, expect it to happen with plenty of flair.

"We'll definitely do a lot of the 'Champion' dance," Taylor said.

"Dwayne Bravo has told us we don’t do it enough, so if we do win we'll do the dance."
