Cricket season
The 2012–13 international cricket season was from September 2012 to March 2013.[ 1] It began with the ICC World Twenty20 , which the West Indies won by defeating host nation Sri Lanka in the final. As a result, Sri Lanka and the West Indies rose to number one and two respectively in the ICC T20I Championship rankings.[ 2] The season included the first bilateral series between India and Pakistan since 2007. Bilateral ties between the two countries had been severed since the 2008 Mumbai attacks .[ 3]
In Test cricket, South Africa had their first successful defences of the ICC Test Championship number-one ranking they acquired from England in August 2012. They started with winning a three-Test series 1–0 in Australia,[ 4] and won all their home matches, against New Zealand and Pakistan.[ 5] [ 6] England won a Test series in India for the first time since 1984–85 . It was also India's first Test series defeat at home since the 2004–05 season .[ 7] India then bounced back with a 4–0 victory in a home Test series against a restructuring Australian team . This was a complete turnaround from their previous meeting in 2011–12 , when India lost 0–4 in Australia. In series of three or more Tests, it was also the first whitewash against Australia since 1969–70 .[ 8]
In the ICC ODI Championship , South Africa dropped from number two to four after a home series loss to the ninth-ranked New Zealand.[ 9] South Africa were experimenting with the make-up of their ODI squad at the time.[ 10] India and England lost an ODI series each to leave them ranked number one and two respectively for the second half of the season.[ 11] No team was able to perform well consistently ahead of the Champions Trophy to be held the following season .
