The 2007 ICC World Twenty20 was the inaugural Twenty20 cricket world championship, contested in South Africa from 11 to 24 September 2007. Twelve teams took part in the thirteen-day tournament—the ten Test-playing nations and the finalists of the 2007 WCL Division One tournament: Kenya and Scotland. India won the tournament, beating Pakistan in the final.[2]

Rules and regulations

ICC World T20 2007 BAN vs RSA

During the group stage and Super Eight, points were awarded to the teams as follows:

Results Points
Win 2 points
No Result 1 point
Loss 0 points

In case of a tie (i.e., both teams score exactly the same number of runs at the end of their respective innings), a bowl-out decided the winner. This was applicable in all stages of the tournament.[3] The bowl-out was used to determine the result of only one game in this tournament - the Group D game between India and Pakistan on 14 September (scorecard).

Within each group (both group stage and Super Eight stage), teams were ranked against each other based on the following criteria:[4]

  1. Higher number of points
  2. If equal, higher number of wins
  3. If still equal, higher net run rate
  4. If still equal, lower bowling strike rate
  5. If still equal, result of head to head meeting.

Group Stages

The 12 participant teams were divided into four groups of three teams each. The groups were determined based on the rankings of the teams in Twenty20 as of 1 March 2007.[6] The top two teams from each group went through to the second stage of the tournament.[7]

All times given are South African Standard Time (UTC+02:00)

Group A saw the only exit of a seeded team when the West Indies were eliminated after losing both their matches. Their first loss came after Chris Gayle's record 117 runs was not enough to prevent South Africa from winning.

Super 8s

This tournament's Super Eight format was designed such that the top 2 seeds from each group was pre-decided at the start of the tournament. The actual performance of the team in the Group Stage played no role in determining if the team qualified into Super Eight Group E or F. For example, in Group C, though Sri Lanka finished with more points than New Zealand, for the purpose of the Super Eight groupings, New Zealand retained the group's top seed position (C1) while Sri Lanka retained the group's second seed position (C2).

In case a third-seeded team qualified ahead of the two top-seeded teams, it took on the seed of the eliminated team. This only happened in Group A, where Bangladesh (original seed A3) qualified ahead of West Indies (original seed A2) and therefore took on the A2 spot in Group F. The other seven top seeds qualified.[8]

The eight teams were divided into two groups of four teams each. The two top teams from each Super Eight group qualified for the semi-finals.

Player of the match: Irfan Pathan (Ind)

India won the toss and chose to bat on what was considered to be a traditionally batsman-friendly pitch at the Bullring.[9] Umar Gul took the wickets of both Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, leaving India with 157/5 in 20 overs; only Gautam Gambhir (75 from 54 balls) produced a notable innings. A 21-run over from Sreesanth swung the game towards Pakistan. However, Irfan Pathan and Joginder Sharma slowed the scoring dramatically. With Pakistan needing 54 from 24 balls, Misbah-ul-Haq hit 3 sixes off Harbhajan Singh in one over. Sreesanth was also dispatched for 2 sixes but took the wicket of Sohail Tanvir, as Pakistan went into the last over needing 13 runs to win, with only 1 wicket remaining. Joginder Sharma bowled a wide first ball, followed by a dot ball. Misbah followed by taking six off a full-toss; Pakistan needed just 6 runs to win from the last four balls. Misbah attempted to hit the next ball with a paddle-scoop over fine leg, but he only managed to sky the ball, and it was caught at short fine-leg by Sreesanth, leaving Pakistan all out for 152 runs. Irfan Pathan was awarded the Man of the Match for his spell, which included 3 wickets for 16 runs, including that of Man of the Series, Shahid Afridi.

The win marked India's second ICC world title and their first since Kapil Dev and company had upset the West Indies to win the 1983 World Cup and also meant redemption for India after many of their T20 squad had crashed out of the World Cup earlier that year after losses to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.They also became the first team to win all the ICC trophies.

Aftermath

India's victory lent them greater credence in top-level limited-overs cricket, which had a number of consequences. Firstly, the Indian Premier League became an even bigger draw in its inaugural season because the league not only featured established international stars but also many of the T20 world champions. A number of the Indian T20 team, including Dhoni, Yuvraj and Harbhajan, also went on to be part of the team that won the 2011 World Cup on home soil.
