List of winners of the 2007-2024 World Cup
India (2007, 2024)
India, the title champions of the T20 World Cup, also won the inaugural edition held in South Africa in 2007 after a disappointing performance in the ODI World Cup in the Antilles.
The Indian team that entered as an approaches was quite young, Yuvraj and Sehwag being the most experienced players of the team.

The team led by Ms. Dhoni, who captain of any team for the first time in his career, has exceeded everyone’s expectations thanks to their performance, which started with a bowl against Pakistan.
India came out of prison when they were able to pass the match against Pakistan in what was called the bowl at the time, which India won comfortably.
Although it is not all Hunky Dory for men in blue as they faced a narrow defeat against New Zealand, but rebounded quickly to win their matches against England and South Africa.
That said, India had their task cut while facing Australia in the semi-finals and it needed a special effort by Yuvraj Singh with the bat and the aggressive bowling of Sreesanth to pass India over the line.
India faced Pakistan for the second time in this tournament in the last game and won the defeat jaw victory in the last match.
India had to wait 17 long years to lift its second T20 World Cup trophy, after finishing it in 2014 against Sri Lanka.
The team led by Rohit Sharma played as a team that meant business and who had a goal, that is to say by winning the T20 World Cup.
Hunger was even more amplified after a humiliating loss of ten titles against England in the semi-finals of the last edition held in Australia.
This forced India to adopt a more aggressive style of play during the ODI 2023 World Cup, which was advanced during the T20 2024 World Cup led by Rohit Sharma.
The team led by Rohit Sharma performed well in the three departments of the match and ended up winning the Barbados trophy.
Pakistan (2009)
Pakistan was one of the most consistent teams with regard to the performance of the T20 World Cup. Green’s men reached the final of the inaugural edition and won the next in 2009.
Yes, there is no doubt that Pakistan played well to win their first T20 World Cup title, but there were many other factors that contributed to the victory of Pakistan.
One of the factors was the conditions that were proposed. England has the majority of most cloudy times at the start of the summer, and the case was no different in 2009.
Pakistan, known for its rapid bowlingal resources, has fully used the conditions and gave results in their favor.
With the bowling alley, it was the captain of rue de Younis Khan who played a major role in the aid using Pakistan to win his first ICC Major title after 1992.
Pakistan had a good mix of young people and atonement with Shahid Afridi and Younis Khan in the Department of Strikers and Mohammad Amir and Umar Gul, who managed the bowling in Pakistan.
England (2010, 2022)
It took a long time in England to win its first ICC title, but they were finally able to achieve it under the captain of Paul Collingwood.
They had all the bases covered in the stick and bowling alley, and adopted a new approach, which was different from what traditionalists practiced.
England was aggressive, especially with the bat, with Kevin Pietersen at the forefront. Peterson had already made a name for himself during the Ashes in 2005 and had played a major role with the bat.
In the Department of Strikers, England had tastes of Ryan Sidebottom, which would bring this angle of the left arm, which was very useful on slightly dry counters that had something for the quisors.
Antilles (2012, 2016)
The Antilles, a team known for its big strikers, were the recipients of two T20 World Cups, both under the direction of Daren Sammy.
The Windies won their first T20 World Cup in 2012 in Sri Lanka after defeating the local team while defending a low total.
It took a global performance of Marlon Samuels to take the Antilles above the line during a hard competition in Colombo against a large range of Sri Lankan strikers.
Regarding the 2016 championship, the Antilles played as a team with a point to prove because they were engaged in a fight with their board of directors and did so under Sammy, who was called not playing captain.
That said, the Antilles found themselves on the back during the last final against England, and it was the four great successes of Carlos Brathwaite who changed the game for the Antilles.
Sri Lanka (2014)
Sri Lanka’s 2014 World Cup victory was a surprise for many. Yes, they had the team to win it, but the same players were below several times before, so the experts did not give Sri Lanka a lot.
But the island nation under the direction of Lasith Malingu has proven that everyone is wrong and found a way to win matches from difficult situations, including a victory to come against New Zealand.
That said, Sri Lanka also had a little luck in the semi-finals against the Antilles, because the match was arrested due to the rain at a time when the two teams had an equal chance to win.
As fate would have done, the late rain went in favor of Sri Lanka, and they succeeded in the final, where they exceeded India to win their first T20 World Cup trophy.
Australia (2021)
The only trophy that was out of reach of Australia was the T20 World Cup and the Champions of the ODI World Cup managed to win it during the 2021 edition which was held in the water.
As was the case with Australia, they brought their game to the tournament and outstripped all the teams by fully using the conditions adapted to a spin.
Australia’s victory was implemented by the spinners with Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell leading, which has restricted the opposition to a total total.
If we look back the tournament, the Australian strikers were not put under pressure in most games and have done their duties.
It was a collective team effort in Australia, a team where each player knew what his role was.
