South Africa hosted the inaugural event in 2007, which was won by India
in a dramatic final against Pakistan at The Wanderers. The tournament
will also remembered for Yuvraj Singh hitting six sixes in one over
against England and the first-ever Twenty20 International hundred, which
was scored by Chris Gayle.
Pakistan won the second edition of the men's tournament, which took place in England in 2009. It defeated Sri Lanka in the final of the event at Lord's, although Tillakaratne Dilshan won the Player of the Tournament Award. Associate Members enjoyed great success with the Netherlands defeating England and Ireland beating Bangladesh.
In 2009, the first ever women's tournament was also held alongside the men's event, with double headers of matches played at the semi-finals and final stage. England won the tournament after defeating New Zealand in the final after an outstanding display by Katherine Brunt.
In 2010, England's men captured its first-ever ICC global title, defeating Australia by seven wickets in the final, while Australia's women won a close final against New Zealand by three runs.
