T20 World Cup 2024 tables: Fixtures, results, how to watch, venues and odds

Held in the USA and West Indies, fans of cricket old and new are in for a treat as a Stateside audience is introduced to, and hopefully embraces, a game which has traditionally been met with indifference across the pond.

However, the T20 format is designed to get the pulses racing and the matches held in New York, Texas and Florida should be great spectacles particularly with favourites India facing Pakistan during the first group stage.

This year’s tournament is split into a first-round group stage consisting of five teams in each of the four groups, the top two of which qualify for the Super 8s. Those two groups will each produce two qualifiers for the semi-finals, before the final on June 29 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.

England are the defending champions and have a big point to prove after letting their 50-over crown slip away so meekly in India last year.

Scotland, Ireland and Afghanistan are among the dark horses looking to cause an upset but otherwise it’s a case of the usual suspects eyeing the trophy with Australia and South Africa tipped to go far.

Fans in the UK will not get the early start times for several of the games, which will take place late at night to meet the needs of the local North American audience.
