The ICC T20 World Cup, a global cricket tournament, kicked off in South Africa back in 2007. The latest men's edition took place in Australia from October 16th to November 13th, 2022, ending with England clinching the championship against Pakistan in a thrilling final match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The 2024 edition of the T20 World Cup was jointly held by West Indies and United States of America, respectively. The mega event kicked off on June 2 with expanded 20 teams vying for supremacy. When it comes to T20 World Cup domination, earlier West Indies and England lead the pack, both securing the title twice. However, on Saturday, June 29, Team India edged out South Africa by seven runs to clinch their second T20 World Cup title in Barbados. Consequently, this ended their 11-year drought of winning an ICC World Cup title. Besides, other notable champions include Pakistan, Australia, and Sri Lanka, each claiming victory once.
India, under the leadership of MS Dhoni, made headlines by winning the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, defeating arch-rivals Pakistan in a tense final. Their journey featured only one stumble against New Zealand in the Super 8s. Pakistan redeemed themselves by triumphing in the 2009 edition hosted by England, defeating Sri Lanka in the final.
England made history in 2010 by becoming the first non-Asian team to lift the trophy, overcoming Australia in the final. Their triumph repeated in 2022 when they secured their second title by besting Pakistan. West Indies grabbed their first title in 2012, edging past hosts Sri Lanka in a nail-biting final. They repeated their success in 2016, outclassing England in the championship clash, becoming the first team to claim the trophy twice.
Sri Lanka's moment arrived in 2014, when they defeated India by 6 wickets in the final, marking their maiden T20 World Cup triumph. Australia joined the winner's circle in 2021, overpowering New Zealand in the final match with a commanding 8-wicket victory, seizing their inaugural ICC Men’s T20 World Cup title.
