The 2019 and 2023 editions used a single round-robin of 10 teams, followed by semi-finals and the final.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, a new format will come into force for the 2027 edition which will be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. There will be a fresh Super Series, where the top three teams from two groups of six plus the next best across each one qualify for the Super Seven. From there, the top four teams progress to the semi-final, with the final to follow after.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australia are the most successful side in Men\u2019s World Cup history, lifting the title on six occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staged every two years, the ICC-backed tournament was first contested in 2007. The fast-paced format of T20 cricket, along with high-scoring volume, has seen this event elevated in terms of importance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2026 edition, which was held in India and Sri Lanka, saw India clinch the title at the expense of New Zealand in the final on 8 March 2026 in Ahmedabad. An emphatic 96-run victory saw India canter to the winning line in style.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time, India created history by becoming the first side to win back-to-back <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/betting\/cricket\/world\/t20-world-cup\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T20 World Cup<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> titles.

Consisting of five Test matches, it is one of the most hotly contested competitions in cricket. Australia won the 2025\/26 series, cruising to a 4-1 win on home soil. The next Ashes series will take place in 2027 in England.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>ICC World Test Championsh<\/b><b>ip and Champions Trophy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Run over a two-year cycle, the World Test Championship uses a league format. Featuring the top nine teams in the Test rankings, they each play six series \u2014 three at home and three away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each Test win is worth 12 points, a tie 6 and a draw 4, and teams are ranked by the percentage of available points they win, and the top two in the table qualify for the Final. South Africa won the 2025 final, beating Australia by five wickets at Lord\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previously known as the ICC Knockout Tournament in 1998, the ICC Champions Trophy, a 50-over tournament, has gone through several changes, and after the 2017 edition it was not held again until 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India are the reigning champions as they came through a tense encounter with New Zealand in the final before prevailing by four wickets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Franchise Leagues: IPL, The Hundred and More<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A premier competition, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/betting\/cricket\/india\/indian-premier-league\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian Premier League<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (IPL) is the biggest franchise league on the planet.

Manchester Super Giants clinched the 2026 crown, beating the Trent Rockets in the final.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Big Bash, Australia\u2019s franchise league, has been running for well over a decade. Eight teams play 10 group matches each, and the top four progress to the knockouts. The Perth Scorchers stormed to a six-wicket win over the Sydney Sixers in the 2026 final.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SA20, South Africa\u2019s domestic competition, features a double round-robin stage, with the top four advancing to the play-offs. There is an eliminator tie, and the two remaining sides go through to the final. The Sunrisers Eastern Cape are the defending champions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the Pakistan Super League or PSL for short, expanded to eight teams for 2026 with Hyderabad Kingsmen and Rawalpindi entering the fray.
