The 2007 T20 World Cup was the first time many players had experienced the format, and South Africa’s successful chase of over 200 runs against the West Indies in the tournament opener showed that batters could take advantage of the shorter format. The tournament also saw the introduction of the Super Over, now a standard way to decide tied matches in limited-overs cricket. However, the Super Over was not yet in use in 2007, and instead, there was a ‘bowl-out,’ where teams bowled at stumps from short range to determine the winner. MS Dhoni, the winning captain, admitted that he did not like the idea of bowl-outs deciding matches. Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik also said that his team was unaware of the rule before their match against India. India won the bowl-out 3-0, with all three Indian bowlers hitting the stumps while Pakistan missed. Dhoni said after the match that he did not want to see matches decided in this manner, and the bowl-out has not been used since.
