T20 World Cup Winners List and Every World Cup Champion

Every Men's T20 World Cup champion since 2007

Ten editions, six different winners. India took the first in 2007 in South Africa against Pakistan, then waited seventeen years for the second. West Indies and England have two each. Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados is the only ground to stage more than one final, in 2010 and 2024.

Bangladesh have no line at 2026. They withdrew before the tournament and Scotland replaced them. Their best in this format stays the Super 8s of 2007 and 2024.

How India won the t20 world cup 2026 final

India won all four group games to top Group A. The Super 8 was rougher: second in Group 1 with two wins and a loss, and that loss to South Africa was their heaviest defeat in a T20 World Cup.

The semi-final against England at the Wankhede Stadium on 5 March came down to seven runs. New Zealand had taken the other place a day earlier, beating South Africa by nine wickets at Eden Gardens.

On 8 March in Ahmedabad India made 255/5 and bowled New Zealand out for 159. Jasprit Bumrah was player of the final, Sanju Samson player of the tournament. Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy shared the wicket lead with 14 each, while Pakistan's Sahibzada Farhan scored the most runs with 383. India had already beaten Pakistan by 61 runs on 15 February in Colombo.

Title counts across the men's T20 World Cup

The cricket world cup winners list, 1975 to 2023

Thirteen editions, five champions, and Australia hold six of the trophies. India's two still get replayed every year: 43 runs against West Indies at Lord's in 1983, and the six-wicket chase against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede in 2011.

In 2019 England and New Zealand could not be split by runs or by a Super Over, so the trophy went on boundaries scored, nine of them. No other final has been decided that way.
