2009 ICC Champions Trophy



The 2009 ICC Champions Trophy is a One Day International cricket tournament to be held in South Africa between 22 September and 5 October,[1]at Wanderers Stadium and Centurion Park, both in the Johannesburg area.[2] It will be the sixth edition of the ICC Champions Trophy, and was previously known as the ICC Knock-out. Two teams from two groups of four will form the semi-finals, with the final to be staged in Centurion on 5 October. The popularity of the 50-over format of the game has waned since the introduction of Twenty20 and speculation about its future is rife, with a general air of apathy surrounding a second world tournament in the space of three months, following the ICC World Twenty20 won by Pakistan.

Rules and Regulation

The ICC Champions Trophy 2009 will be contested by 8 teams which have been 'seeded' and divided into two groups. Each team will play every other team in its group. Points will be allocated for each match in accordance with the system described below which will apply throughout the competition. Following the group stage the top 2 teams from each group will progress to the semi finals where the winner of Group A will play the runner up of Group B (in the 1st semi-final) and the winner of Group B will play the runner up of Group A (in the 2nd semi-final). The winners of the semi-finals will contest the Final.

[ Group Matches

In the event of teams finishing on equal points in its group, the right to play in the semi-finals will be decided in the following order of priority:
  • The team with the more wins in the group stage will be placed in the higher position.
  • If there are teams with equal points and equal wins in the group stage then in such case the team with the higher net run rate in the group stage will be placed in the higher position.
  • If following the net run rate calculation above there are teams which are still equal, then the team with the higher number of wickets taken per balls bowled in the group stage in which results were achieved will be placed in the higher position.
  • If still equal, the team which was the winner of the head to head match played between them will be placed in the higher position.
  • In the highly unlikely event that teams cannot be separated by the above this will be done by drawing lots.

Semi Final

If a semi-final is tied, the teams shall compete in a one over per side eliminator to determine which team progresses to the final. If following a tie, weather conditions prevent the one over eliminator from being completed, or if the match is a no result, then the group winners shall progress to the Final.

Final

In the event of a tied Final, the teams shall compete in a one over eliminator to determine which team is the winner. In the event of a no result, provided weather conditions permit, the teams shall compete in a one over per side eliminator to determine which team is the winner. If weather conditions do not permit, the teams will be declared joint winners.
