The extravaganza known as Twenty 20 was started in Auckland
on Feb 17, 2005 between the 2 southern hemisphere giants - Australia and New
Zealand. Yesterday India and Sri Lanka played the 400th T20I and thereby
completing the 5th edition of World T20 tournaments which first began
in South Africa in 2007. Sri Lanka eventually became the world champions after
4 losses in their previous 4 world cup finals and gave a rousing farewell to
their favorite sons – Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara from the game’s
shortest format.
16 teams participated in the 5th edition of World
T20 tournament across 35 matches compared to 12 teams & 27 matches in the previous
editions. 8 out of the 16 teams were from Asia alone.
