The 2009 ICC Champions Trophy was a One Day International cricket tournament held in South Africa between 22 September and 5 October,[1] at Wanderers Stadium and Centurion Park, both in the Gauteng province.[2] Originally, the tournament was scheduled to be hosted by Pakistan in 2008, but due to security concerns it shifted to South Africa.[3] It was the sixth ICC Champions Trophy, and was previously known as the ICC Knock-out. Two teams from two groups of four qualified for the semi-finals, and the final was staged in Centurion on 5 October. Australia successfully defended the title by beating New Zealand by six wickets in the final.
