Match format
There are four groups of five teams each out of the twenty teams. Prior to the knockout stages, the competition will be contested in two phases.
Following the division of the remaining teams into two groups of four, the top two teams from each of the four groups of five advance to the Super Eights phase. Next, the top two finishers from each group advance to the semifinals.
India’s matches will all be held in the West Indies if they advance to the Super 8 stage.
“The release of the fixtures is made even more exciting for fans as we enter a new frontier, with the USA hosting a major ICC event for the first time. With 16 matches being played across three venues in the USA, it allows us to make a statement in the world’s biggest sports market.
“It will also be great to have an ICC event back in the West Indies, which has such a rich history of the game. It has hosted World Cups with great success in the past and this tournament will certainly provide a boost to the game there, especially with the final being played in Barbados,” averred ICC Chief Executive, Geoff Allardice.
