List of Teams with most ICC T20 World Cup titles

6. Australia – 1 (2021)

Australia had to wait 14 years to win their maiden ICC T20 World Cup title. It finally came in 2021 in the UAE, when Aaron Finch led them to glory. They were excellent in run-chases, and put their best foot forward in the semi-final against Pakistan and the final against New Zealand.

5. Sri Lanka – 1 (2014)

After finishing as runners-up in 2009 and 2012 and semi-finalists in 2010, Sri Lanka went on to win their maiden ICC T20 World Cup trophy in 2014. Lasith Malinga led them to success by beating India in the final. Kumar Sangakkara scored an unbeaten 52 off 35 balls in the final, and Sri Lanka became the third Asian team to win the T20 title.

4. Pakistan – 1 (2009)

Pakistan have been one of the consistent teams in the shortest format. They have made it to the knockouts six times out of the first eight editions. They finished the inaugural edition as runners-up after losing to India in the finals. But, Pakistan won the second edition of the tournament in 2009 under the captaincy of Younis Khan, which took place in England. After that, they also played the final in 2022, but lost against England.

3. India – 2 (2007 & 2024)

The Indian team created history when they won the inaugural ICC T20 World Cup in 2007. Not many gave India a chance because it was a new team under a new captain. But that was the tournament that changed India’s standing in the cricket world as MS Dhoni led a young Indian team to the title by beating arch-rivals Pakistan in the final.

India won their second T20 World Cup title under the leadership of Rohit Sharma in 2024. It took them 17 years to retain the T20 World Cup title. They defeated South Africa in a cracker of a final by seven runs in the final of the tournament to lift the trophy.

2. England – 2 (2010 and 2022)

England are one of the two teams that have won the ICC T20 World Cup twice so far. For the first time, they did it in the 2010 edition, which was played in the West Indies, under Paul Collingwood’s captaincy. Then, England won the 2022 edition under Jos Buttler’s captaincy, where they beat Pakistan in the finals to become the second team to win the title twice.

1. West Indies – 2 (2012 and 2016)

Darren Sammy led West Indies to two ICC T20 World Cup titles in 2012 and 2016 to become the first team to win the title twice. In 2012, they beat Sri Lanka in the final, and in 2016, they beat England in the final. But since then, West Indies have not managed to reach the knockouts.
