In Cricket Champions Cup Trophy also know as Mini Word Cup, the matches are organized over a period of around two weeks and no team is allowed to play with another more than once in the tournament. In the 2002 and 2004 tournaments, the teams went through a round robin tournament, which took place in four pools of three. It was the top team in each pool that went to the semifinal. After winning only four games (two in the pool, the semi-final and the final), a team could win the trophy.
In the next ICC CT (2006), there were ten teams, which played in two pools of four. The top two teams in each pool played the semi-finals. In effect, this meant that even if a team lost one match, it went right out of the tournament.
2009 Champions Trophy, played in South Africa, between 24th September and 5th October 2009.
