Just before the start of the main event, the ICC World Cup warm up matches will also be taking place in the West Indies and USA starting from 27 May, 2024. During this edition of the T20 World Cup, as many as 20 teams will be involved in the star-studded event.

On the other hand, the Group C consists of New Zealand, West Indies, Afghanistan, Uganda and PNG. The Group D includes the likes of South Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Netherlands and Nepal.
Interestingly, only two teams will qualify from each group for the Super 8 stage of the multi-team T20I competition. The Super 8 stage of the tournament will also consist of two groups with four teams in each group. The first semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024 will be taking place on 27 June, 2024 at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad while the second semi-final will also be played on the same day at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.
While talking about the marquee games, the India vs Pakistan match is set to take place at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on 9 June, 2024. On the other hand, defending champions England will be locking horns with Ashes rivals Australia on 8 June scheduled at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. The International Cricket Council (ICC) have announced a reserve day for the first semi-final. However, ICC have allotted an extra 250 minutes for the second semi-final and this means there is no reserve day, which became a viral cricket news recently.
