The2009 ICC World Twenty20 was the second edition of theMen's T20 World Cup, formerly known as theICC World Twenty20 that took place inEngland in June 2009.[2] As before, the tournament featured 12 male teams – nine of the tenTest-playing nations and three associate nations, which earned their places through aqualification tournament.ICC Full memberZimbabwe were expelled from the tournament due to political reasons. Matches were played at three English grounds –Lord's andThe Oval inLondon, andTrent Bridge inNottingham. The tournament was organised in parallel with thewomen's tournament, with the men's semi-finals and final being preceded by the semi-finals and final from the women's event. The final took place at Lord's on Sunday 21 June withPakistan beatingSri Lanka by eight wickets andEngland beatingNew Zealand by six wickets inthe women's final.[3][4]
In June 2006,The Daily Telegraph reported that theMarylebone Cricket Club andSurrey CCC had put in a joint bid to host the tournament atLord's andThe Oval.[5]
In December 2007, the ICC provisionally approved aWomen's World Twenty20 to run alongside the men's event which, subject to the approval of the ICC's finance and commercial affairs committee, would come into effect for the 2009 tournament in England.[6]
In early January 2008, speculation arose that the tournament could be held elsewhere as the British government have banned Zimbabwe from touring England in 2009. However, it was later confirmed that the tournament would definitely take place in the country.
In April 2008, the third venue was confirmed as Nottingham'sTrent Bridge; the 17,500 seater stadium was chosen to hold one of the semi-finals, among other earlier matches.Lord's andThe Oval are the two other confirmed venues, with the opening match and final being played at Lord's.Old Trafford Cricket Ground had bid for the third venue, but Trent Bridge was chosen for its closer proximity to the two London grounds.
Teams from everyICC Region :
Although early reports suggested the 2009 event may involve just eight teams in a nine-day event,[7] the full twelve-team tournament was confirmed, featuring theTest-playing nations and two qualifying associate nations. However, in July 2008 Zimbabwe, under pressure from South Africa and England over political matters related toRobert Mugabe, pulled out of the tournament of their own volition, creating an additional space for an associate nation.
Qualification was achieved by the finalists of anICC World Twenty20 Qualifier held inBelfast from 2–4 August 2008, betweenKenya,Scotland,Ireland,Netherlands,Canada andBermuda.[8] Ireland and the Netherlands, having reached the final, qualified outright, while Scotland won the third place playoff beating Kenya to also qualify.[9]
The matches were played at the following three grounds:

In case of atie (i.e. both teams score the same number of runs at the end of their respective innings), aSuper Over decides the winner. This applies in all stages of the tournament.[10]
Within each group (both group stage and Super Eight stage), teams are ranked against each other based on the following criteria:[11]
The groups were announced on 31 October 2007, based on finishing positions at the2007 ICC World Twenty20 and the successful qualifying associate nations. The initial four group format is the same as that used at the 2007 tournament. Team seed in brackets.

In the final atLord's, the home of cricket inLondon, Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat. The first over was bowled byMohammad Amir. After failing to score off the first four balls – all short – Dilshan went for his scoop and mistimed it, resulting in him being caught at short fine-leg. Soon after this,Jehan Mubarak top edged a delivery byAbdul Razzaq which went high in the air and was caught byShahzaib Hasan, leaving Sri Lanka at 2 for 2.[12]Sanath Jayasuriya was able to stabilise the innings for Sri Lanka hitting 17 runs off 10 balls, however, Jayasuriya soon fell as he dragged a good length ball back on to the stumps.Mahela Jayawardene followed after edging a shot into the hands ofMisbah-ul-Haq, leaving Sri Lanka on 32/4.[13] Sangakkara and Chamara Silva added further runs, before the latter was caught bySaeed Ajmal playing a pull shot off the bowling ofUmar Gul.[14]Shahid Afridi soon after, took the wicket ofIsuru Udana with a googly which drifted into the right-hander, knocking the off-stump. This brought inAngelo Mathews, who along with Sangakkara took the score from 70/6 to 138/6, with 17 runs being scored off the last over bowled byMohammad Amir. Sri Lanka finished on 138/6 from 20 overs.[15]
Pakistan started off well with openersKamran Akmal andShahzaib Hasan adding 48 runsfor the 1st wicket, beforeKamran Akmal was stumped byKumar Sangakkara by the first delivery ofSanath Jayasuriya.[12] Pakistan reached the target in 18.4 overs, withShahid Afridi, who hit the winning runs, earningMan of the Match[16] whileTillakaratne Dilshan was declaredMan of the Series for his 317 runs at an average of 63.40. Pakistan's win, often cheered on by crowds of fans from England's Pakistani communities, marked its first world title sinceImran Khan's "cornered tigers" had won the 1992 World Cup.
