ICC T20 World Cup
The ICC T20 World Cup is the international championship of Twenty20 cricket. The International Cricket Council (ICC) organizes the World Twenty20. The first edition was in South Africa in 2007, where India defeated Pakistan by five runs in the final held in Johannesburg. The most recent tournament was played in the West Indies and the USA, and the next in 2026 is going to be held jointly in Sri Lank and India.
cricket playerThe ICC World T20 is scheduled to take place every two years. However, no tournament was held in 2018, then the 2020 tournament was postponed to 2021. Consequently, there was a five-year gap between the 2016 tournament and the latest tournament which was held in 2021 in UAE and Oman (which was moved from India). One year later in 2022 there was a tournament in Australia. The upcoming tournaments will be held in 2026, 2028, and 2030.
Thereis also a women's T20 World Cup
