ICC World Twenty 20

ICC World Twenty 20 The ICC World Twenty20 2010 will be the third time that the event has taken place to date with the first two editions of the tournament taking place in 2007 and 2009.

South Africa hosted the inaugural event, which was won by India in a dramatic final against Pakistan at The Wanderers. The tournament will also remembered for Yuvraj Singh hitting six sixes in one over against England and the first-ever Twenty20 International hundred, which was scored by Chris Gayle.
Pakistan won the second edition of the men’s tournament, which took place in England in 2009. It defeated Sri Lanka in the final of the event at Lord’s, although Tillakaratne Dilshan won the Player of the Tournament Award. Associate Members enjoyed great success with the Netherlands defeating England and Ireland beating Bangladesh.

In 2009, the first ever women’s tournament was also held alongside the men’s event, with double headers of matches played at the semi-finals and final stage. England won the tournament after defeating New Zealand in the final after an outstanding display by Katherine Brunt.

The next joint men’s and women’s tournament begins in the Caribbean in April 2010.
