The ICC World Twenty20 2009 will be the second time a world event for Twenty20 cricket has been held.
The ICC World Twenty20 2009 scheduled to take place in England in June 2009 and provides the
opportunity to see the very best players in the world, representing their
countries, showcasing Twenty20 cricket on a global stage.
It will be the second ICC World Twenty20 with the inaugural event taking
place in South Africa in 2007, when India defeated Pakistan in the final.
The 2009 event sees both the men’s and women’s tournament integrated for the
first time. The men’s tournament format consists of 12 teams, played across
three venues – Lord’s, Trent Bridge and The Oval.
The women’s tournament consists of eight teams with the group stage games
hosted at Taunton. The semi-final days hosted at Trent Bridge and The Oval and
the finals day hosted at Lord’s will bring the two tournaments together with the
men’s matches following the women’s match on each match-day.
A key feature of the 2009 event is that the majority of match-days will
include two games showcasing four different teams. This double-header format
allows spectators to view two games for the price of one match-day ticket.
