The first mega event of the format was held in Republic Of South Africa. 12 teams participated in this event around the world. After qualifying rounds 4best teams from the world of cricket qualify for the semi finals of the tournament. In semi finals Pakistan beat New Zealand and India beat Australia and enters in to the finals. The contest was won by India.

People enjoyed it so much most of people who does not watch cricket at regular they also watch the tournament. The most important thing that made it successful and most viewed was short time and full enjoyment in every single match. Then ICC decided to arrange it after every tow years.
