ICC MEN'S CRICKET T20 WORLD CUP 2026

With the T20 World Cup 2022 tournament already played, it was truly a memorable edition, with great games and many noteworthy moments. It saw England as world champions after beating Pakistan in the final Twenty20 match. Unfortunately, the ICC Cricket World Cup hosts Australia could not make a serious run after losing early. India and Zimbabwe should be credited for their accomplishments after the group stage.

Cricket T20 World Cup Winners list

The tournament has a long and storied history of champions who have dominated the sport since its inception in 2007. The new Twenty20 format saw exciting games, strong teams competing for glory, and amazing moments at every edition. While India could only win the tournament once, they remain one of its most consistent teams. The following ICC World Cup winners list will remind everyone of the teams that could stand atop and reach the pinnacle.

  • 2007 – India. The inaugural T20 World Cup was won by the team from India in what many remember as one of the most action-packed tournaments ever. In this edition, they faced Pakistan in the final and defeated them by five runs.
  • 2009 – Pakistan. After losing its first finals to India, Pakistan got what it wanted two years later when it won its first World Cup title, beating Sri Lanka. The match was full of action and lasted five hours.
  • 2010 – England. After failing to reach the semifinal in 2007 and 2009, England finally got its time at bat when it won against Australia. As if that was not enough, the whole tournament featured a historic performance by Kevin Pietersen.
  • 2012 – West Indies. This T20 ICC World Cup edition was conducted in Bangladesh, the year the West Indies could propel themselves to glory against Sri Lanka. In the final, the West Indies chased down 137 to take home the trophy.
  • 2014 – Sri Lanka. Twenty20 World Cup winning proved to be a slow process for Sri Lanka. After missing the mark two years prior, they had their moment of glory in 2014 when they defeated India by six wickets.
  • 2016 – West Indies. This year saw an exciting final between the West Indies and England. While everyone thought the latter to take the title, Carlos Brathwaite made sure all those expectations went down in flames when he batted four consecutive sixes off Ben Stokes's bowling. Therefore, the Cricket World Cup winners list includes the Caribbean team for a second time.
  • 2021 – Australia. After five years without claiming a world title, Australia was the champion of this edition. The competition was fierce, but the Aussies got extra firepower from Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Finch and Adam Zampa's outstanding bowling.
  • 2022 – England. Being the last T20 World Cup winner of the current format, England rejoiced with a win over Pakistan in the finale. 1xBet's customers got to appreciate some fantastic displays from batting stars.

Thanks to this winners list by year, cricket fans now have a complete overview of the champions. Last year's edition, especially the final with England against Pakistan, was also witnessed by millions of fans via the 1xBet app.

  • 2009 – England. Facing New Zealand in the final, England won its first World Cup with a 6-wicket victory against the Black Caps.
  • 2010 – Australia. The following year, Australia triumphed over New Zealand after controlling the match with a solid batting line-up.
  • 2012 – Australia. Sri Lanka hosted the tournament but didn't stop Australia from reclaiming its ICC Women's T20 World Cup title. The Australians gave a shutout performance in the finale against England by four runs.
  • 2014 – Australia. It was clear that no one could really compete with Australia as they won their third title after beating rival team England once more
  • 2016 – West Indies. This time it was the turn of the West Indies. The Caribbean side defeated Australia in one of their famous runs fests. The points table was really close.
  • 2018 – Australia. While some were hopeful West Indies might secure their second title, the 2018 edition saw an encore to Australia's continued dominance against England.
  • 2020 – Australia. A fifth triumph awaited Down Under when they faced India in the final and won by 85 runs. The Women's Cricket World Cup points table is again topped by Australia.
  • 2023 – Australia. This edition occurred in February, with Australia further cementing their place as the most successful team in women's Twenty20 history after defeating South Africa.

This Women's Cricket World Cup winners list is a testament to the talent and determination of teams from all over the globe vying for victory. All eyes are set on Australia as they battle to create a winning streak in 2024.
