India emerged as the winner but Sri Lanka were equally excellent throughout the tournament. They played most of their group games in Sri Lanka and both their knockout games, against England in the quarter-final and New Zealand in the semi-final were held in Colombo.
India finished second in their group and beat Australia in the quarter-final at Ahmedabad, before dismantling arch-rivals Pakistan at Mohali to set up the summit clash between the two co-hosts. The two teams produced a pulsating final that was eventually won by India, thanks to the heroics of Gautam Gambhir and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
