The tournament expanded from 16 to 20 teams, including the two hosts, the top eight teams from the 2022 edition, the two highest-ranked teams in the ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings not already qualified, and eight other teams determined through regional qualifiers. Canada and Uganda qualified for the men's T20 World Cup for the first time, while the United States participated for the first time by virtue of being co-hosts.

England were the defending champions and were beaten in the semi-finals by India, who went on to win their second T20 World Cup title, defeating South Africa by 7 runs and equalling England and West Indies with the most titles in the T20 World Cup while also becoming the first team in T20 World Cup history to win the title undefeated throughout the tournament.[1]

Background

edit

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup is a professional T20I tournament held between men's national cricket teams, organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The tournament, now being held every two years, was first played in 2007 in South Africa.[2] The last tournament, held in 2022 in Australia, was contested by 16 teams.[3] The defending champions were England, who defeated Pakistan in the final of the previous edition.[4]

Host selection

edit

In November 2021, the ICC announced that the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup would be played in the United States and the West Indies.[5] A joint bid was submitted by Cricket West Indies and USA Cricket following two years of preparation, forming part of a strategic partnership between the two associations.[6]

USA Cricket's co-hosting was part of efforts to help develop and promote cricket in the United States, where the sport's fanbase is primarily made up of South Asian Americans. Prior to this World Cup, the United States had occasionally hosted West Indies home matches at Central Broward Park in Florida, while a T20 franchise league known as Major League Cricket launched in 2023.[7][8][9]

Although cricket had never become mainstream in the country, the United States is associated with several notable developments in the early history of the game, including having hosted Canada in the first international cricket match, and American cricketer Bart King having been credited with developing the technique of swing bowling.[8][9]

Format

edit

The 20 qualifying teams were divided into four groups of five teams; all the five teams in a group played with all the others – for a total of ten matches – and the top two teams in each group advanced to the Super 8 stage. The advanced 8 teams were divided into two groups of four teams each based on pre-tournament seedings; all the advanced teams in an advanced group played with all the others in that group – for a total of six matches – and the top two teams in each advanced group advanced to the knockout stage.[10] Prior to the tournament, the ICC announced the eight seeded teams for the Super 8 stage based on T20I rankings. On advancing from the group stage, they were placed in pre-determined positions in the Super 8 stage, irrespective of their position in the group stage. If an unseeded team qualified at the expense of a seeded team, it took the position of the corresponding seeded team that failed to qualify from the group.[11][12]

Schedule

edit

On 28 July 2023, ICC announced that the tournament would be played from 4 to 30 June 2024.[13] The revised schedule was announced on 5 January 2024, with the tournament scheduled to take place from 1 to 29 June. The teams played 55 matches with three cities in the United States hosting 12 matches and the rest of the matches hosted by six venues in the Caribbean.[14] On 16 May 2024, ICC announced that warm-up fixtures would be held from 27 May to 1 June.[15]

Prize money

edit

The ICC allocated a pool of US$11.25 million in prize money for the tournament. The winners would earn at least $2.45 million, the highest prize money in the history of the tournament. In addition, each team received an additional $31,154 for each match they win excluding the semi-finals and final.[16]

Marketing

edit

The ICC hosted a "trophy tour" before the tournament which began on 19 March in New York and the trophy was taken to various locations around the world.[17] Former cricketers Yuvraj Singh, Chris Gayle, and Shahid Afridi as well as Olympian athlete Usain Bolt were named as the ambassadors of the tournament.[18][19][20][21]

Qualification

edit

The hosts, West Indies and the United States along with the top eight teams from the 2022 tournament qualified automatically for the tournament. The remaining two automatic qualification places were taken by the best-ranked teams in the ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings which had not already qualified, as of 14 November 2022.[22][23] The eight remaining places were filled via the ICC's regional qualifiers, consisting of two teams from Africa, Asia, and Europe and one team each from the Americas and the East Asia-Pacific groups.[24] In May 2022, the ICC confirmed the sub-regional qualification pathways for Europe, East Asia-Pacific, and Africa.[25]

In July 2023, Ireland and Scotland qualified from the Europe Qualifier, followed by Papua New Guinea from the East Asia-Pacific.[26][27] Canada secured its qualification in October 2023 after winning the Americas Qualifier.[28] The following month, Nepal and Oman qualified after reaching the final of the Asia Qualifier in Nepal.[29] Namibia and Uganda became the final two teams to qualify after ensuring a top-two finish in the Africa Qualifier with Zimbabwe becoming the only Test-playing country that failed to qualify for the World Cup.[30][31] Canada and Uganda qualified for the men's T20 World Cup for the first time, while the United States also participated for the first time by virtue of being co-host.[32][33]

Venues

edit

In May 2023, Cricket West Indies (CWI) began a bidding process for countries in the Caribbean region willing to host the matches of the World Cup.[34] In July 2023, the ICC shortlisted four venues in the United States, Central Broward Park in Lauderhill, Florida, Church Street Park in Morrisville, North Carolina, Grand Prairie Stadium in Grand Prairie, Texas, and a temporary stadium at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, New York City for hosting the matches.[35] Residents of the Bronx objected to the Van Cortlandt Park stadium, citing that it would restrict public access to the park for an extended time, showed concerns for its environmental impact, and questioned the economic viability of the event.[36][37] On 20 September 2023, the ICC announced that Grand Prairie, Lauderhill, and New York would be the three U.S. host cities, with a 34,000-seat temporary stadium to be constructed at Eisenhower Park on Long Island in Nassau County, New York. Central Broward Park and Grand Prairie Stadium were to be expanded, with temporary grandstands and hospitality areas doubling their capacity during the tournament.[38][39][40][41]

On 22 September 2023, ICC announced that venues in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Guyana, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago would serve as the hosts in the West Indies.[42] Grenada, Jamaica, and Saint Kitts and Nevis did not submit bids to host the World Cup, with Jamaican sports minister Olivia Grange ruling out a bid on cost grounds.[43][44] In November 2023, it was announced that Trinidad's Queen's Park Oval, the country's most considerable cricket ground, would not be hosting any World Cup matches and that fixtures would be moved to the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in San Fernando. Nigel Camacho, the president of the Queen's Park Cricket Club, stated that the venue would instead most likely host warm-up matches before the start of the main tournament.[45] The Government of Dominica decided to withdraw its venue, Windsor Park, from hosting any matches of the World Cup citing its inability to complete the infrastructural development of the venue before the tournament commences.[46]

In December 2023, a delegation of representatives from the ICC undertook an inspection of the confirmed host venues in the Caribbean and the United States, so as to finalize the fixtures for the tournament. The Long Island stadium was slated to host the India–Pakistan group stage match, considered one of the largest rivalries in the sport.[47][48] On 17 January 2024, the ICC unveiled the proposed design of the temporary New York stadium—Nassau County International Cricket Stadium—which was completed in May 2024 in time for the tournament.[38][49] It marked the first temporary venue to have ever been used during an ICC World Cup.[49]

Group stage summary

edit

Week 1

edit

The tournament commenced on 1 June between the hosts United States and Canada, the two debutants at Grand Prairie Stadium, which also hosted its first T20I match. Canada, batting first put up a score of 194/5 in reply, USA chased down the target in 17.4 overs with Aaron Jones scoring 94* from 40 deliveries and putting up a partnership of 131 runs with Andries Gous .[79][80] This was the first victory for the United States in a World Cup match across all formats.[81]

On 2 June 2024, the second match saw the other host, West Indies taking on Papua New Guinea at Providence Stadium and emerging victorious by 5 wickets, despite PNG's valiant efforts.[82] The third match saw Namibia defeating Oman in the Super Over after a low scoring tied game at Kensington Oval.[83]

On 3 June 2024, South Africa defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets after bundling out them for just 77, which was also their lowest total in T20Is.[84][85] The other match saw Afghanistan thrashing Uganda by mammoth 125 runs. Batting first, Afghanistan scored 183/5 and then restricted their opposition to just 58 thanks to Fazalhaq Farooqi's maiden T20I Five-wicket haul.[86]

The sixth match at Kensington Oval, between Scotland and England had a delayed start and again was interrupted by rain when Scotland was 51/0 (6.2 overs) thus reducing it to 10 overs per side. Scotland made a score of 90/0 in 10 overs. But after the first innings rain returned and the match was washed out [87] In the next match, Nepal lost to Netherlands by 6 wickets. Batting first, Nepal were bowled out for 106 with Netherlands chasing the target down in 18.4 overs.[88]

Pakistan lost the match to USA in Super Over thanks to brilliant bowling from Saurabh Netravalkar restricting Pakistan to 13/1 while chasing a target of 19 runs in the super over. This resulted in what is known as "by far the greatest upset in the history of t20 world cup".[96] On the same day, Scotland beat Namibia by 5 wickets and thus securing their first victory against Namibia at the fourth attempt. Richie Berrington and Michael Leask made a partnership of 74 runs which sealed the win for Scotland while chasing a target of 156.[97]

Bangladesh restricted Sri Lanka to 124/9 in the first innings and in reply chased down the target with 2 wickets and an over in hand despite Thushara's bowling figure of 4/18.[100]

Week 2

edit

The second week began with South Africa taking on Netherlands at Nassau County Stadium. In their last two meetings at ICC tournaments Netherlands had got the better of South Africa. Netherlands batting first made 103/9 with Sybrand Engelbrecht scoring 40 (45) and at one stage reduced South Africa to 12/4 before David Miller rescued South Africa with 59* along with Tristan Stubbs and ensured a win by 4 wickets. On the other hand, Ottneil Baartman picked up 4 wickets in 4 overs conceding only 11 runs which also helped South Africa to restrict Netherlands to a low score.[101] Then next match saw Australia defeating England by 36 runs. Australia batting first made 201/7 in reply England could only manage 165/6.[102] Chris Jordan of England took his 100th T20I wicket in the match against Australia which is also the biggest rivalry in international cricket.[103][104] In the other match, West Indies won a one sided contest versus Uganda. West Indies managed to get 173/5 before blowing away Uganda for just 39, which is also joint-lowest total in the T20 World Cup. Akeal Hosein picked up a fifer to hand a 134 run victory to West Indies[105][106]

In the first semi-final, Afghanistan won the toss and chose to bat.[171] Afghanistan scored just 56 runs in 11.5 overs before being bowled out.[172] South Africa would go on to score 60 runs in 8.5 overs winning the match.[172] This was the first time that South Africa has reached the finals of an ICC Mens T20 World Cup.[173] It was also an historical low for Afghanistan and is their lowest ever score in T20Is.[171] Afghanistan's score was also the lowest ever score scored in an ICC Mens T20 World Cup semi-final.[174] The player of the match award was awarded to South African all-rounder Marco Jansen for taking 3 Afghani wickets.[172]

In the second semi-final, India managed to score 171 for the loss of 7 wickets throughout a rain-affected innings. Indian captain Rohit Sharma scored 57 out of 39 balls while England's Chris Jordan took 3/37 in 3 overs.[175] In the second innings with the highest score being 25 off of 19 balls by Harry Brook England were bowled out for 103 in 16.4 overs.

Final

edit
 
Virat Kohli scored the most runs for India in the final (76 runs off 59 balls) and was awarded the Player of the match

South Africa, after losing the toss, took three early Indian wickets of skipper Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Suryakumar Yadav. However, Virat Kohli and Axar Patel put on a 72-run partnership, with Patel contributing 47 runs. Kohli's 76-run innings and a late contribution of 27 by Shivam Dube helped India reach a total of 176/7, the highest first-innings total in a T20 World Cup final.

South Africa's chase began with the loss of two early wickets, but Quinton de Kock and Tristan Stubbs took the total to 106. After they were both dismissed, Heinrich Klaasen made the fastest fifty in a World Cup final, including scoring 24 runs off the 15th over bowled by Axar Patel. At this point, South Africa required 30 runs in 30 balls with six wickets in hand. However, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya bowled economically in the last 5 overs. Pandya picked up the wicket of Klaasen in the 17th over, Bumrah dismissed Marco Jansen in the 18th over, and Pandya dismissed David Miller, the last recognized batsman, off the first ball of the final over. The tail end batsmen were unable to overhaul India's total, and South Africa ended their innings on 169/8, losing by 7 runs.[179]

This victory marked India's first ICC title since the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, their first world cup title since the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, and their second T20 World Cup crown with the first being the 2007 title. Kohli's knock of 76 runs off 59 balls (including 6 fours and 2 sixes) earned him the Player of the Match award, while Jasprit Bumrah received the Player of the Tournament award for his outstanding bowling performance throughout the tournament. Bumrah ended up with 15 wickets with an economy rate of 4.17 towards the end of the tournament.[180] Kohli, Sharma and Jadeja announced their retirement from the T20 international format after the final.[181] The end of the tournament also marked the end of Rahul Dravid's tenure as the coach of the Indian cricket team as his contract was actually extended after the 2023 Cricket World Cup until this T20 World Cup.

Broadcasting

edit

Disney Star handled host broadcasting for the tournament.[188] After having introduced smartphone-oriented vertical video broadcasts at the 2023 Cricket World Cup using dedicated camera feeds, the vertical video feeds for this T20 World Cup shifted to using machine learning technology to automatically adapt the main 16:9 camera feeds to vertical and square video formats.[189] The ICC also offered highlights from the Super 8 round onward through an immersive app for visionOS, allowing users to view presentations from various areas of the stadium.[190]

In an effort to help promote the sport to U.S. audiences, the ICC partnered with American sports podcaster Jomboy, who has been known for producing cricket-related content targeting baseball viewers—as a contributor, including making guest appearances as an analyst on selected matches to help explain the rules and strategy of the sport to new viewers.[191][192]
