The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 is gearing up to be an unforgettable event, scheduled in the United States of America (USA) for the first time. Meanwhile, co-hosts West Indies will host the mega-event for the second time. The 2010 edition was completely hosted by the West Indies.
With a record 20 teams participating, this cricket carnival is set to light up the USA and the Caribbean Islands from June 1 to June 29. Fans around the world are in for a treat.
Firstly, the tournament starts with 20 teams divided into four groups of five. Each team will play at least four matches within their group. The top two teams from each group will advance to the Super 8s, while the rest will be eliminated.
Then, the Super 8s stage will see the remaining teams split into two groups. Each team will play three crucial matches against their group opponents. This stage is all about setting the stage for the semi-finals.
The semi-finals will feature the best teams from the Super 8s. These matches will determine who gets to play in the grand finale. The tournament will conclude with the final match on June 29 in beautiful Barbados.
Fans in the USA and the West Indies will witness cricket magic across multiple venues. The USA will host matches in Lauderhill, Dallas, and New York.
Meanwhile, the Caribbean will showcase games across six venues. The highly anticipated India vs. Pakistan match will take place at the new Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on June 9.
