This is for all my readers who were busy on the Sunday evening and missed the final of ICC Cricket 2020 World Cup Final between Pakistan and Sri Lanka at Lord's, London.

The twenty20 World Cup new Schedule, Teams and Groups has been announced for 2009 twenty20 world cup which will be played in England. In 2009 twenty20 world cup the total 27 number of matches will be played which is same as 2007 world cup but the period is longer than the previous edition.

2009 twenty20 world cup will be played from 5th of June to 21st June 2009. Opening game will be played between host England and the twenty20 world qualifier runners-up Ireland.

During meeting on 20th August 2008 Zimbabwe Cricket board confirmed that they will not take part in twenty20 World Cup 2009. That means Scotland which are placed 3rd during twenty20 world qualifier will now play the twenty20 world cup.

Total 12 teams : India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, New Zealand, England, Scotland, Ireland and Netherlands will participate in 2009 twenty20 cup.

The ICC has also announced top two ranked teams in each group and given them a number 1 and 2 respectively. They will retain this number irrespective of whether they finish first or second in the group.

For example if Bangladesh top ranked Group A and India finished second in the same group; India will still remain as A1 and Bangladesh will remain as A2 in Super Eights stages.If Ireland knockout Bangladesh in Group A then Ireland will become A2.
