2000 ICC Knock Out Trophy
The 2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy was a One Day International cricket tournament held in Kenya. New Zealand were crowned champions and cashed the winner's cheque of US$250 000. It was their first win in a major ICC tournament. Zaheer Khan, Yuvraj Singh and Marlon Samuels made their ODI debuts during the competition.
As there were 11 teams taking part, three would miss out on a spot in the quarter finals. Therefore a playoff stage took place between 6 of the teams.
