India won the first ICC (International Cricket Council) World Twenty20 (now the T20 World Cup) in 2007 after defeating Pakistan by five runs in the final. Earlier in the tournament India and Pakistanās group-stage match had ended in a tie, leading to a bowl-outāa tiebreaker in which typically five players from each team bowl one delivery each aimed at hitting an unguarded set of stumps; the team that hits the stumps more often wins. India won the bowl-out, and this was the only time in the competitionās history that a bowl-out was used to decide the result of a match.
