ICC Champions Trophy 2009

The 2009 ICC Champions Trophy is a One Day International cricket  tournament to be held in South Africa between 22 September and 5 October, at Wanderers Stadium and Centurion Park, both in the Johannesburg  area. It will be the sixth edition of the ICC Champions Trophy, and was previously known as the ICC Knock-out.

Two teams from two groups of four will form the semi-finals, with the final to be staged in Centurion on 5 October. The popularity of the 50-over format of the game has waned since the introduction of Twenty20 and speculation about its future is rife, with a general air of apathy surrounding a second world tournament in the space of three months, following the ICC World Twenty20 won by Pakistan.
