For the first time, the ninth edition of the T20 World Cup is going to start from June 2 with 20 teams. In the new format, five teams will play in four groups in this year’s four-sixer fight.
The tournament is being co-hosted by the West Indies and the United States. The matches will be played in nine venues, including six in the West Indies and three in the United States. A total of 55 matches will be played in the group stage, Super Eight, semi-finals and final. Of these, 41 matches will be played in the Caribbean islands and 14 matches in the United States.
Format, Groups and Seedings
Four groups of five teams will engage in a single-round robin format in the league stage. The top two teams from each group will proceed into the Super 8s. If the top-eight ranked teams in the T20I format will proceed into the Super 8, they will be grouped based on their pre-determined seedings, irrespective of their first or second position in the league stage.
The league stage groups are:
Group A: India, Pakistan, Ireland, United States, Canada.
Group B: Australia, England, Namibia, Oman, Scotland.
Group C: Afghanistan, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Uganda, West Indies.
Group D: Bangladesh, Netherlands, Nepal, South Africa, Sri Lanka.
In the Super 8, the teams will again split into two groups in a single-round robin league from which the top two teams in either group advance into the semi-finals.
Pre-determined seedings for the Super 8s are:
Group 1: India (A1); Australia (B2); New Zealand (C1); Sri Lanka (D2)
Group 2: Pakistan (A2); England (B1); West Indies (C2); South Africa (D1)

Six Caribbean nations will host as many as 39 matches. Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, Saint Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago will host these games across three stages of the tournament. The final will be played in Barbados on June 29.
