The ICC World Twenty20 is the international championship of Twenty20 cricket. The 2009 championship is currently taking place in England.

The final will be take place at Lord’s on Sunday 21 June 2009.

The group stage consists of four groups of three. The top two countries from each group go through to the Super Eights which will be comprised of two groups of four.

The top two sides from each of those groups proceed to the semi-finals to be played at Trent Bridge and The Oval.

The event is organised by the sport’s governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC). The tournament consists of 12 teams and is contested by all Test-playing nations plus qualifiers.

The championship is expected to be held around every two years.
The inaugural event, the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, was staged in South Africa from 11-24 September 2007.

The tournament was won by India, who become the first World T20 Champions after defeating Pakistan by 5 runs in the final at Johannesburg.

What is Twenty20 Cricket?

Twenty20 is a form of cricket, originally introduced in the United Kingdom for professional inter-county competition by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), in 2003. A Twenty20 game involves two teams, each have a single innings, batting for a maximum of 20 overs.

A Twenty20 game is completed in about two and half hours, with each innings lasting around 75 minutes, thus bringing the game closer to the timespan of other popular team sports. It was introduced to create a lively form of the game which would be attractive to spectators at the ground and viewers on television and as such it has been very successful.

The ECB did not intend that Twenty20 would replace other forms of cricket and these have continued alongside it.

Since its inception the game has spread around the cricket world. On most international tours there is at least one Twenty20 match and most Test-playing nations have a domestic cup competition.

The Indian Premier League is currently the largest and most popular (in terms of attendance and television audience) Twenty20 league in the world.
