Twenty20 cricket originally introduced in the United Kingdom for professional inter-county competition by the England and Wales Cricket Board(ECB), in 2003. Twenty cricket is also known as T20 cricket.
The first T20 World Cup was played in South Africa in 2007 with India defeating Pakistan in the final by 5 runs. Pakistan again featured in the final of the 2009 World Twenty20, this time against Sri Lanka, winning by eight wickets.
The first men's full international T20 match was played in 2005 between Australia and NewZeland in which Australia defeated NewZealand and the match was played in Eden Park in Auckland. This game was played in a light-hearted manner both teams wore kits similar to that worn in 1980's. The Kiwis wore kit exactly the same as of Beige Brigade. Some players pasted moustaches/beards and make heair styles popular in 1980;s taking part in a competition amongst themselves for best retro look, at the request of Biege Brigade. Aus won the game completely, and as the result became obvious towards the end of NZ innings, the players and umpires took things less seriously - Glenn MacGrath jokingly replayed the Trevor Chappell under arm incident from a 1981 ODI between two sides and Billy Bowden showed him a red card(red cards are not used in cricket).
