Twenty20 Champions League

This is a bit of a cobbled together tournament, with no teams from England or Pakistan, and 3 from India, which is as many as New Zealand, Sri Lanka and West Indies combined. Still the teams from those 3 countries only won 2 matches between them so perhaps it all makes sense somehow.
