How is dessert storm cup missing from the list?

Also, was 1985 Benson & Hedges cup an ICC tournament? It was huge.

I consider it as 1st champions Trophy.

I consider it as 1st champions Trophy.

Apparently organized by ACB, not ICC. So it should qualify to be in the list.

It was called the World Championship of Cricket. The Benson & Hedges series was the 1986 one, which I think we also won. But that was a smaller event, IIRC.

Would the Morocco Cup qualify

This is a cute thread. The cricket equivalent of "What are your favourite local court case wins?"

Massive fail for not mentioning 1998 Singer Akai OG Nidahas trophy

However in my defence, I rate it higher than ODI WC victory.

Short Summary
1. In 2018 we played a T20 series involving IND, SL and BANGLADESH
2. We didn't take it seriously and sent our C side
3. We lost a match and a SL poster started trolling us.
4. SL didn't qualify for the final and we won the final on the last ball by hitting a 6.
5. We trolled the SL poster mercilessly

Nidahas trophy facts:
1.Last over of the Final match is the most watched cricket video on YouTube ( 210 million and counting)
2. 2nd last over is the 2nd most watched cricket video.
3.Also famous for Nagin Dance by Bangladesh players

4. Nidahas Trophy is so prestigious it only happens once in 25 years.

Was the SL poster Migara? Please tell me it was Migara. If the Mt Rushmore-sized chip on his shoulder extends to SC sides as well, it would be wonderful.

20 years
2018-1998 = 20 ?

The SL poster was iirc randycrickfreak

 

[honestbharani]

It was also Benson & Hedges. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_of_Cricket

Yeah, they were basically sponsoring all ODI cricket in Australia back then but the names were different. The usual tri series was called the B&H series but this was called the WCC, sponsored by B&H, sure.

Massive fail for not mentioning 1998 Singer Akai OG Nidahas trophy

The 1998 Nidahas Trophy, known as the Singer Akai Nidahas Trophy for sponsorship reasons, was a One Day International cricket tournament staged in Sri Lanka between 19 June and 7 July 1998, to commemorate the 50 years of Sri Lanka's independence and Sri Lanka Cricket, known then as the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka, the governing body of cricket in Sri Lanka.[1]

The competition involved Sri Lanka, India and New Zealand. Each team played every other team three times, and the two teams with most points progressed to the final. The event was marred by rain, with five of the nine qualifying matches abandoned. Sri Lanka won three matches while India won one in the group stage, before India won the final beating the former by 6 runs.[2] Sri Lanka's Aravinda de Silva who scored 368 runs was named player of the series.[3]

What a glorious tournament
