T20 Cricket World Cup 2024: Results, schedule and fixtures

The 2024 T20 World Cup is nearing the Super 8 stage as the action intensifies in the Caribbean.

The group stage featured plenty of shocks as the tournament visited the United States for the first time, with defending champions England only narrowly scraping through at Scotland’s expense.

There was no reprieve, though, for Pakistan, who were dumped out of their group after defeats to the USA and India, while Sri Lanka also endured a disappointing tournament.

India are among the favourites for the event as they seek a first T20 World Cup crown for the first time since the inaugural edition in 2007.

Australia, meanwhile, stand on the brink of an unprecedented feat in world cricket — if Mitchell Marsh’s side can win, the nation will hold every major cricketing trophy across the men’s and women’s game.

Here’s everything you need to know:

When is the T20 World Cup?

The T20 World Cup began on June 2 with a nod to history. Co-hosts United States took on Canada in a repeat of the first-ever recognised international cricket match, which took place between the two sides in 1844. 180 years later, the USA chased down their record score in T20 internationals to triumph by seven wickets.

The 20 teams in the group stage of the tournament have been whittled down to eight, with two teams from each of the five-nation groups progressing.

The Super 8s will have two groups of four with eight teams, with the top two teams going through from each into the semi-finals before the final is held in Barbados on 29 June.

Where is the tournament being held?

The matches will take place in three venues in the United States: Florida (Central Broward Park), New York (Nassau County International Cricket Stadium) and Texas (Grand Prairie Stadium).

In the Caribbean, the games will be played in Antigua and Barbuda (Sir Vivian Richards Stadium), Barbados (Kensington Oval), Guyana (Providence Stadium), Saint Lucia (Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium), St. Vincent & the Grenadines (Arnos Vale Playing Field) and Trinidad and Tobago (Brian Lara Cricket Academy).

How can I watch it?

In the UK, the tournament will be shown live on Sky Sports, across the Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Cricket channels and can also be streamed live via the SkyGo app.

In India, the game will be shown live across the Star Sports Network and Disney + Hotstar.
