In the final, South Africa defeated Australia by 5 wickets to win their maiden championship. This was also their second ICC trophy after 1998.^[3]

Format

The tournament consisted of 69 matches played between nine teams across 27 series in the league stage. The top two teams in the points table at the end of the league stage competed at the final at Lord's, London. Each team plays six series, three at home and three away, with each series containing two to five Test matches.^[4][5]

Points system

The points system remained largely unchanged from the previous edition. Teams failing to meet the required over rate got one point deducted for each over they were behind at the end of a match, except in cases where they bowled their opponents out in 80 overs in an innings, or 160 overs over the course of the match.^[6] As in the previous edition, the teams are ranked in the league table based on percentage of total points won out of contested points.^[7]
