The 2014 ICC World Twenty20 was the fifth edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, formerly known as the ICC World Twenty20, an international Twenty20 cricket tournament, that took place in Bangladesh[1] from 16 March to 6 April 2014.[2][3] It was played in three cities — Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet.[2][4] The International Cricket Council announced Bangladesh as host in 2010.[5] This was the first ICC World Twenty20 where the use of Decision Review System (DRS) was implemented. It was the second consecutive time that an Asian country hosted the event, with Sri Lanka hosting the previous tournament in 2012.[6] Sri Lanka won the 2014 tournament, beating India by 6 wickets in the final at Mirpur.[7][8]
