ICC have announced the fixture list for much awaited T20 World Cup in Dubai with India Pakistan set to clash on 24th October.
The arch rivals are placed in Group 2 of Super 12s. The tournament will begin with qualifiers for Super12s on October 17 in Oman, with Oman taking on Papua New Guinea and Bangladesh playing Scotland.
The Super 12s – round two of the tournament, with two groups – will begin on October 23, with Australia facing South Africa in Abu Dhabi and England up against West Indies in Dubai.
The marquee India Pakistan match will be played at Dubai, in what will be the opening game for both sides. The fact that Pakistan have never beaten India in the World Cup, T20 or 50-over adds spice to this encounter.
Initially this edition of the T20 World Cup was scheduled to take place in Australia in 2020, but was postponed due to Covid-19 pandemic.
Then, it was slated to be played in India this October but, again, complications triggered by the pandemic forced a venue change. Incidentally, 2021 was also due to feature a T20 World Cup as per previous ICC schedules, and that second tournament will now to be played in Australia late next year.
The two semifinals will be held on November 10 and November 11 with the final to be played on November 14.
