The 2024 ICC T20 World Cup
In June the world will be treated to the ninth edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Taking place in the West Indies and USA, 20 teams will compete across 55 matches, making it the biggest men’s T20 World Cup to date.
Previous winners
Last time around England were victorious in Australia, after defeating Pakistan in the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). It was England’s second T20 tournament win making them the joint most successful team in the competition’s short history, along with the West Indies who also have two titles to their name.
Other winners include India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia.
This year’s hosts
A staple of the cricketing world for years, the West Indies has already hosted the T20 World Cup, back in 2010, and is widely regarded as one of the best places to watch international cricket on the planet. The passionate crowds and in-stadium party atmosphere that goes hand-in-hand with cricket in the West Indies are two of its main draws. The laid-back Caribbean vibe, often soundtracked by the pulsating rhythms of calypso and reggae music, makes it a unique experience that is on the bucket list of every sports fan.
The USA, on the other hand, is a relative newcomer to the international cricket scene and has secured its first big-ticket cricket event with this summer’s tournament. New stadiums have been specially built in Dallas and Fort Lauderdale, as well as Nassau County, New York, which is set to host arguably the biggest game, India vs Pakistan.
