2014 - or when the perpetual runners up actually won It took Sri Lanka seven years and four finals (2007, 2011 Cricket World Cups, 2009, 2012 World Twenty20) to finally shed their near-perpetual runner-up tag and claim their second world trophy. Powered by a solid half-century from the retiring Kumar Sangakkara, Jackpot Bet Online which overshadowed Payer of the Series Virat Kohli's 77, the Lasith Malinga-led side defeated India by six wickets at Mirpur in Bangladesh.

The win not only soothed the sting of regularly losing in finals, but was also the perfect T20 international farewell for Jackpot Bet Online Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene. This was also the first World T20 to have 16 members, with associate nations competing in qualifiers.
