The ICC T20 Championship is an international Twenty20 cricket competition run by the International Cricket Council. The competition is notional in that it is simply a ranking scheme overlaid on the regular T20I match schedule.[1] After every T20I match, the two teams involved receive points based on a mathematical formula. The total of each team's points total is divided by the total number of matches to give a rating, and all teams are ranked on a table in order of rating.[2]
As of 24 October 2011, England lead the ICC T20I Championship with a rating of 127, while the lowest rated team, Zimbabwe, has a rating of 54.[3]
