History of the T20 World Cup
The ICC T20 World Cup, formerly the World Twenty20, is a biennial cricket championship in the 20-over format, rebranded in 2018. India are the most successful men's team with three titles (2007, 2024, 2026), while West Indies and England have two each, and Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Australia have one apiece. In the women's tournament, Australia have dominated with seven titles, while England, West Indies, and New Zealand each claim one. Both tournaments have faced major disruptions, including the men's 2020 edition being postponed and relocated to the UAE/Oman due to COVID-19, and the 2024 Women's event being shifted from Bangladesh to the UAE because of political unrest. The 2026 editions just concluded, leaving India (men) and Australia (women) as current champions, with the 2028 men's event set for Australia and New Zealand and the women's for Pakistan. The format originated in England in 2003 to draw in younger fans with fast-paced, exciting cricket.
