The Indian cricket team is currently playing the last and final match of the two-match Test series in South Africa, but the real challenge for the Indian team this year is the T20 World Cup 2024 to be hosted in the West Indies and USA in June. The Indian team has been hungry for the ICC trophy since 2013, geared up to put in their all to win the title this time around. The organizers have decided once again to organize the India vs Pakistan match in the league phase. According to reports, both teams might be face-to-face on June 9.
Looking at the format of the tournament, along with the Indian team, other teams will also play four league phase matches, because this time 20 teams have qualified directly for the tournament. 4 groups of 5-5 teams have been formed and those who will be in the top 2 in the points table of these groups will advance to the Super 8.
India has more chances to get ahead of the league phase because reports are coming out that apart from Pakistan, India will have to play with Ireland, USA, and Canada teams. In such a situation, the team can easily get ahead of its league phase.
Now let’s talk about how the schedule of the Indian team can be in the league phase. Reports are claiming that the Indian team’s T20 World Cup campaign may start on June 5 and the team will face Ireland in the first match. The second match could be against Pakistan on June 9, while the third match might be played with the USA on June 12.
At the same time, the last league match for India could be played against Canada on June 15.
India’s league matches will be played in the USA, while the Super 8 matches might be held in the West Indies. An official announcement is expected to be made soon on this because only 5 months are left in this tournament.
