After devastating blows from Andre Russell (71 off 29 balls) and Sherfane Rutherford (67no off 40 balls), the West Indies put up a massive 220-6.
With 17,018 spectators watching, Warner responded by overcoming a frightening blow to his chin to score 81 off 49 balls and offer Australia a chance to win.
However, Australia's hopes were dashed when they lost three wickets for three runs, with Josh Inglis, Warner, and Aaron Hardie all out of the game in the space of ten balls. As a result, they finished with 183-5.
The defeat prevented Australia from winning all three games in the series; instead, the hosts prevailed 2-1 to set up a visit of New Zealand.
Warner informed his teammates prior to the game that it would be his last international encounter in Australia.
Before calling an end to his illustrious international career, Warner will play in the current T20 World Cup and the forthcoming T20 series in New Zealand.
"I've finished," he declared. "Now is the moment for the youth to show off their abilities.
Extreme talent is present here. We're well-positioned for the future.
Mitch Marsh, the captain of Australia in Twenty20, paid homage to Warner.
"Clearly, he has had an incredible career," Marsh remarked. "I suppose it's appropriate that he ends the way he did [with that knock]." What a servant of cricket in Australia. Regretfully, we were unable to secure victory for him.
Xavier Bartlett, a rookie paceman, launched an early onslaught that saw the West Indies fall to 3-17.
The ninth over saw Russell come to the crease with his team struggling at 5-79. However, he and Rutherford put on the greatest sixth-wicket partnership in T20 international history, scoring 139 runs together, which turned the tide of the contest.
Russell did not, however, escalate the damage until the penultimate over, which was delivered by Adam Zampa. Russell scored a scorching 28 runs, including four sixes, in that disastrous over.
Tim David missed a diving grab on the boundary, so he hit three straight sixes to end the over.
Zampa would have had statistics of 2-43 with three balls remaining in his spell if he had made that catch.Rather, he concluded with 1-65, the highest scoring total in his 77 T20 matches.
Russell ended his inning with seven sixes and four fours after taking a hard shot to his glove early on.
Mitch Marsh's elevation to the starting position was short-lived as the captain holed out for 17.When a soaring Russell delivery struck the underside of Warner's helmet grille, he was on 21.
The 37-year-old was treated on the field to look for any indications of a concussion or injury to his jaw, but he was cleared to go on.After cutting the next ball for four, Warner hit a huge six down the ground to achieve his half-century in 25 balls.
However, Australia was unable to recover from the collapse that was set off when Hardie (16 off 16) chopped Romario Shepherd on to his stumps.
Warner retreated deep, and Roston Chase (2-19) removed Inglis with a brilliant catch off his own bowling.While Tim David (41no off 19 balls) was able to give the spectators some late pyrotechnics, Glenn Maxwell (12 off 14 balls) was unable to get going.
