in the final.

Background

Since the previous edition, three Test-playing nations had introduced new Twenty20 tournaments. Australia established the city-based Big Bash League, replacing the established state structured KFC Twenty20 Big Bash,[4] the Sri Lanka Premier League also featured city-based franchise teams,[5][6] and the Bangladesh Premier League was established in February 2012, although teams from the league did not feature in the Champions League in 2012.[7]

Qualification

As in the previous season, the tournament featured a qualifying stage, although with only two of the six teams competing in it qualifyed for the final stages, compared with three during 2011.[3][8]

This qualifying stages included a team from Pakistan for the first time, with teams previously excluded due to friction between India and Pakistan following the 2008 Mumbai attacks.[9][10][11] Whilst in 2011 the fourth-ranked Indian Premier League team had played in the qualifying stage, this year's team, Mumbai Indians, qualified for the final stages as the defending champions.[12]
