Here is a look back at each chapter of the tournament’s story so far

2009

Winner: England

Runners-up: New Zealand

The inaugural edition of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup was held in England as an eight-team tournament at the same time as the men’s tournament.

England, Australia, New Zealand and India made the semi-finals in the first chapter of those sides’ long history at the top of the shortest format.

England and New Zealand faced off in the final at Lord’s, where the hosts chased down a modest target of 87 in 17 overs to win the first-ever title – and their only one to date.

New Zealand’s Aimee Watkins finished as the tournament’s leading run-scorer while England’s Holly Colvin topped the wicket-taking charts. Claire Taylor was named Player of the Tournament.
