The ninth ICC Men’s T20 World Cup has a record number of 20 teams participating. The USA, Canada and Uganda are making their T20 World Cup debut.
The group matches will be held in the USA and across six Caribbean nations. All the Super 8 games, and the semi finals and final will be held in the Caribbean.
The teams are initially divided into four groups, with each side playing the other sides in their group once. The top two sides from each group go through to the Super 8s stage.
These eight teams are split into two groups in the Super 8s phase, and play each of their group members once. The top two teams in each of the two Super 8s groups go through to the semi-finals. The winning semi-finalists will contest the final in Barbados on June 29.
England are the holders of the T20 World Cup, having defeated Pakistan in Melbourne by five wickets in November 2022. England and the West Indies are the only teams to have won the T20 World Cup twice.
