The group stage will run from June 1 to June 18, followed by the Super 8 stage from June 19 to June 24. The semi-finals are scheduled for June 26 and 27.
The last T20 World Cup encounter between India and Pakistan was a memorable one at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 2022, where Virat Kohli’s masterclass led India to a thrilling victory. Fans can expect another exciting clash this year at the new Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in Long Island.

The draw for the Super 8 will be announced beforehand, with teams assigned groups based on their pre-tournament seedings. If a non-top-eight seeded team qualifies for the second round, they will take the Super 8 seeding of the team they eliminated.
The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 promises to be a festival of cricket, showcasing the sport’s growth and global appeal. With matches spread across the USA and the Caribbean, fans around the world are in for a treat.
