When is the 2024 T20 World Cup expected to occur?
The 2024 T20 World Cup is scheduled to start on June 1 (7.30 p.m. local time) and run through June 29. The opening match will feature the co-hosts, USA and Canada. Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas will host the first game, and Bridgetown in Barbados will host the championship game.
In 2024, where will the T20 World Cup take place?
The T20 World Cup will be co-hosted by the USA and the West Indies. The USA will host a major ICC tournament for the first time this year. Two previous men’s World Cups were held in the West Indies: a 50-over tournament in 2007 and a T20 World Cup in 2010. There have also been two women’s T20 World Cups in the Caribbean.
And where will the matches for the T20 World Cup 2024 be held?
There are nine locations where the 2024 T20 World Cup will be held. There will be games in Providence, New York, Lauderhill, North Sound, Gros Islet, Kingstown, and Tarouba in addition to Dallas and Bridgetown.
Which teams will compete in the 2024 T20 World Cup?
There will be 20 teams competing in this year’s tournament, which is the most of any T20 World Cup. The eight best-placed teams from the 2022 edition—England, Pakistan, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Australia, and Netherlands—as well as the hosts, the West Indies and the United States—also automatically qualified. Bangladesh and Afghanistan both qualified automatically based on where they finished in the men’s T20I team rankings.
Canada was victorious in the Americas qualification, while Ireland and Scotland advanced via the European round. Namibia and Uganda were the two qualifying teams from Africa, while Nepal and Oman advanced from the Asia qualifier. In the East Asia-Pacific qualifier, Papua New Guinea prevailed.
What is the format for the T20 World Cup 2024?
The 20 teams have been divided into four groups of five teams each. You can check out the groups here. Each team plays each other once with the top two sides from each group making it to the Super Eight stage, where there will be two groups of four teams each. The top two teams from these groups will progress to the semi-final.
What happens if a match ends in a tie?
A Super Over will decide every tied match, and if that ends in a tie, there will be another Super Over and so on until a result is achieved.
And in the event that bad weather occurs, how are games decided?
Each team must be able to bat for at least five overs in order for a result to be declared in the event of rain or inclement weather during the group stage and Super Eight matches. But just like in the last edition, each side must be able to bat for at least 10 overs in order for a result to be achievable in the two semi-finals and the final.
But what about the elimination rounds?
There are reserve days and an extra 190 minutes for both the first semi-final and the final. Because there is only one day between that match and the final, the second semi-final does not have a reserve day. To try and make sure a result is feasible, the second semifinal will have an extra 250 minutes. India has been seeded into the second semi-final, assuming they make it to the knockout stages, based on the scheduling of the two matches.
Which groups of players have won the men’s T20 World Cup before?
The men’s T20 World Cup has previously been won by seven teams. West Indies and England are the only teams to have won it twice, with India becoming victorious in the 2007 edition. Additionally, England is the reigning champion.
Here is the full list of winners:
