T20 World Cup: The highs and lows of the previous editions

The 8th edition of the ICC T20 World Cup is currently on in Australia. The gap between the last edition and this one was one of only a few months, with the last one having been played in the UAE in 2021, after being shifted out of Sri Lanka. The gap between the sixth and seventh editions meanwhile was a very long one of five years (2016 and then 2021). Overall, in the seven previous editions, the tournament has seen as many as six different champions, with only the West Indies managing to win two titles so far. Here, TimesofIndia.com takes a look at the champions of the previous editions and the big highlights: 2007 T20 World Cup in South AfricaChampions - India

Asia Cup title is history, need to get into Super 12s of T20 World Cup, says Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka

Asia Cup title is a thing of the past now, insists Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka, saying their only focus right now is to produce a perfect performance in their must-win match against the Netherlands to qualify for the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup. Stunned by Namibia in their tournament opener, Sri Lanka bounced back strongly to beat UAE by 79 runs in a first round Group A game. But occupying the third spot in Group A, Shanaka's men will now have to win their last match against table toppers Netherlands on Thursday to ensure their place in the Super 12 stage. "...I think Asia Cup champions is history, so it's just a title for us. There is no pressure at all. We just need to concentrate on our own performances and what we need to do to make sure that we get into that second round after the next game." "We know our strength. The first game we didn't execute in that match, so we got beaten by Namibia. But we are a far better team from the team we performed in the first game," Shanaka said ahead of the match against the Netherlands.

T20 World Cup: Sri Lanka's injury woes mount before crunch Netherlands clash

Sri Lanka paceman Dushmantha Chameera has been ruled out of Thursday's crunch T20 World Cup clash against Netherlands with a calf strain in another injury blow for the former champions. Chameera picked up three wickets in Tuesday's big win over the United Arab Emirates in Geelong but hobbled off the field after pulling out of his run-up when bowling his fourth over. The 30-year-old, who missed Sri Lanka's recent Asia Cup triumph with a leg problem, is awaiting scans on the injury and could miss further matches should they qualify for the Super 12.
