2009 Champions Trophy (South Africa)

The tournament was delayed by a year after several teams refused to travel to Pakistan, the original hosts, due to political instability. South Africa hosted the championship at Johannesburg and Centurion from September 24 to October 5. Two teams from two groups of four qualified for the semi-finals, and the final was staged in Centurion. Australia won the tournament undefeated, beating New Zealand by six wickets in the final. Man of the Match Shane Watson scored a century (105 not out) in the final. Ricky Ponting was the Man of the Series.
