Most Successful Team In World Twenty20 Short History ? Pakistan has played two finals and were 1 decent over away from reaching their third final when defending 18 runs of last over in 2010 semifinal against Australia, Saeed Ajmal failed to contain Mike Hussey who belted him for 3 sixes and a four to get Australia over the line. That game would go down as one of the Best T20 matches of all times. Australia went on to lose against England in the final.
Pakistan appeared in the first two World T20 finals in 2007 and 2009 losing the first one against India and winning against Sri Lanka two years later.
India also appeared in 2 finals, they won the competition back in 2007 the very first edition of the shorter format while ended up runners-up in the most recent T20 world cup in Bangladesh when Sri Lanka defeated them in the final. So so far 5 world cups and 5 champions in India, Pakistan, England, West Indies and Sri Lanka. Who will it be this time around ? Indians are favorite playing at home and widely regarded as the best T20 team at the moment.
