Just like the debut tournament, 2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy was also an ODI championship, which was played in Kenya. There were a total of 11 teams that took part in the tournament. To select the eight teams for quarter finals, pre-quarter final was played between six teams, out of which 3 went ahead. The final was played between New Zealand and India, with the former emerging as the winner. With this, New Zealand clinched their first win in a major ICC tournament.
