<P> The 2012 edition was to be expanded into a 16 team format however this was reverted to 12 . It was the first time the tournament took place in an Asian country, hosted by Sri Lanka in three cities; Colombo, Pallekele and Hambantota . It was played by the same 12 teams that played in the 2010 tournament, Ireland and Afghanistan and the ten full members . For the first time, a host nation managed to get on to the knock - out stage of the ICC World Twenty20 . However the tournament was won by the West Indies, by defeating Sri Lanka by 36 runs . It was by the virtue of the power packed 78 scored by Marlon Samuels the followed some tight bowling by the slow bowlers . Ironically West Indies qualified for the Super-8 stage without winning even a single match in the initial round . Pakistan and Australia were the losing semi-finalists, with Pakistan making into last four on all the occasions and Australia missing only in 2009 . India won both the matches of the first round becoming the only team not to lose even a single first round match in the first four editions of the ICC World Twenty20 . Shane Watson topped the run charts with 249 runs . Chris Gayle struck 16 sixes, maximum by any player . Ajantha Mendis topped wickets chart with 16 wickets, including an all - time best performance of 6 for 8 against Zimbabwe </P> <P> The 2014 tournament, held in Bangladesh was the first to feature 16 teams including all ten full members and six associate members who qualified through the 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier . However the top eight full member teams in the ICC T20I Championship rankings on 8 October 2012 were given a place in the Super 10 stage . The remaining eight teams competed in the group stage, from which two teams advance to the Super 10 stage . Three new teams (Nepal, Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates) made their debut in this tournament . The tournament was won by Sri Lanka, who convincingly beat India by 6 wickets with 13 balls to spare . Imran Tahir of South Africa and Virat Kohli of India were the highest wicket taker and run scorer respectively . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Host </Th> <Th> Winning Team </Th> <Th> Captain </Th> <Th> Head coach </Th> <Th> Runner - up </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2007 </Td> <Td> South Africa </Td> <Td> India </Td> <Td> MS Dhoni </Td> <Td> Lalchand Rajput </Td> <Td> Pakistan </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2009 </Td> <Td> England </Td> <Td> Pakistan </Td> <Td> Younis Khan </Td> <Td> Intikhab Alam </Td> <Td> Sri Lanka </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> West Indies </Td> <Td> England </Td> <Td> Paul Collingwood </Td> <Td> Andy Flower </Td> <Td> Australia </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2012 </Td> <Td> Sri Lanka </Td> <Td> West Indies </Td> <Td> Darren Sammy </Td> <Td> Ottis Gibson </Td> <Td> Sri Lanka </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2014 </Td> <Td> Bangladesh </Td> <Td> Sri Lanka </Td> <Td> Lasith Malinga </Td> <Td> Paul Farbrace </Td> <Td> India </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2016 </Td> <Td> India </Td> <Td> West Indies </Td> <Td> Darren Sammy </Td> <Td> Phil Simmons </Td> <Td> England </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Host </Th> <Th> Winning Team </Th> <Th> Captain </Th> <Th> Head coach </Th> <Th> Runner - up </Th> </Tr>
