Format:

The ninth edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup will feature a record-breaking 20 teams. The tournament will be co-hosted by the USA and West Indies from June 1 to 29.

In the first stage, the 20 teams are divided into four groups of five, with each team playing a minimum of four matches against their group members.

The top two teams from each group will advance to the Super 8s stage, while the bottom three teams from each group will be eliminated.

The eight advancing teams will then be split into two groups for the Super 8s phase. Each team will play three matches against their new group rivals to determine the semi-finalists.

The semi-finals will feature the top two teams from each Super 8s group, and the winners will move on to the final in Barbados on June 29.

Venues:

Three venues in the USA and six in the Caribbean will host the tournament, including 16 contests in Lauderhill, Dallas, and New York, as well as the highly anticipated India-Pakistan match in the new Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in Long Island on 9 June.

41 games are scheduled to take place in the Caribbean, spanning six islands, featuring semi-finals in Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana, and concluding with the title match in Barbados on June 29th.
