Next T20 World Cup in 2024 To Have a Different Format. Here are the Changes

The 2024 T20 World Cup will
be played in a different format in
which 20 participating countries
will be divided into four groups of
five teams each and the first round
will be followed by a Super Eight
stage.

In the 2021 and 2022 editions,
the first round was followed by the
Super 12 but in the next tournament, the top two teams from each
of the four groups will progress to
the Super Eight phase, where they
will be further divided into two
groups of four each.

Then, the top two sides in each
of the two Super Eights groups will
make the semi-finals, which will

be followed by the final.
As many as 12 teams have
already secured their berth in the
next edition of the tournament to
be played in West Indies and
United States.

As hosts, the West Indies and
the USAtake up the first two spots.
The top eight teams in the
recently-held T20 World Cup in
Australia (top four in each Super
12 group), including reigning
champions England and runnersup Pakistan, have already gained
spots for the 2024 tournament,
with Afghanistan and Bangladesh,
the next best teams on the ICC
men’s T20I Rankings, also securing their spot.(PTI)
