Hosted by the International Cricket Council, the T20 World Cup is the premiere event in the sport of cricket, and the 2024 tournament will be the biggest and best in ICC history. This year’s games are set to take place from June 1st to June 29th in more than a dozen different cities, and Global Air Charters offers the perfect way to experience sports history in the making.
The 2024 ICC T20 World Cup Features Several Historic Firsts
The 2024 T20 World Cup promises exciting changes, and this year’s tournament has expanded to include a record 20 teams. England, the defending 2023 champions, will be joined by teams from around the world, including first-time qualifiers like Canada and Uganda. The world’s top teams will battle it out in stadiums in the Caribbean, South America, and North America, and this year is the first time the T20 World Cup will feature matches played in the United States. By scheduling the tournament in a broader variety of venues, the ICC hopes to expand the international visibility and popularity of this exciting sport.
T20 World Cup Schedule Highlights
With a record number of competitors facing off in the 2024 T20 World Cup, ICC officials have established four groups for the twenty qualifying teams:
Group A: India, Pakistan, Ireland, Canada, and the United States
Group B: England, Australia, Namibia, Scotland, and Oman
Group C: New Zealand, West Indies, Afghanistan, Uganda, and Papua New Guinea
Group D: South Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the Netherlands, and Nepal
The top two teams from each group will advance to the Super 8 round, divided into two groups of four teams. The top two teams from this round will move to the knockout round to compete in the semi-finals, followed by a final match between the two surviving teams.
Noteworthy competitions in the 2024 T20 World Cup include the highly anticipated June 9 face-off between India and Pakistan, to be held at the new Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in Long Island, New York. Having lost to England in last year’s finals, Pakistan will be playing to recapture their number one spot in this year’s tournament.
The match between India and Pakistan is just one of several hotly anticipated pairings. England launches their title defense in Barbados on June 4th, when they go up against Scotland. Another match slated for a U.S. venue takes place on June 6th in Dallas, when the U.S. team meets the 2022 champs from Pakistan. And the match between West Indies and New Zealand, scheduled for the recently inaugurated Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago, is yet another of the many exciting matchups cricket fans can’t wait to see in 2024, on June 12th.
