@Vestrian24Bio: I'll be reviewing this one. VK wiki100 04:44, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   The lead can be extended to include a brief summary of how teams qualified through group stage and super8. Additionally, there is no need for references in this section, as they are already provided in the sections below.

• Grammatical mistakes in the first paragraph itself. "It was co-hosted by the West Indies and the United States from 1 to 29 June 2024; the tournament being hosted by the West Indies for the second time, while this was also the first major ICC tournament to feature matches played in the United States." Why are "being" and "while" used here? It should be changed to "It was co-hosted by the West Indies and the United States from 1 to 29 June 2024; the tournament was hosted by the West Indies for the second time, and it was also the first major ICC tournament to feature matches played in the United States."

• In the second paragraph: remove "field" as it is not necessary. Replace "best placed two teams" by "two highest-ranked teams" and it would be appropriate to replace the word "by" by "through" as the qualifiers are a tournament and not just a match.

• Add commas: "The last tournament, held in 2022 in Australia, was contested by 16 teams."

• Schedule: Turn this paragraph into past tense like "...tournament would be played.." and "..teams would play…" to "teams played". In the last line change "will" to "would" and it'll be better if it comes before the "teams played 55 matches" line.

• Prize money: same tense problem here. It should be in the past tense.

• Qualification: "two hosts" could simply be "hosts" and add commas. The region wise list of teams with their ranking in parentheses is redundant as there are only two teams which qualified because of rankings and their regions are already mentioned in above paragraph. It’ll be better to remove it. Only keep the table below.

• Venue: add venue of final also in the prose in the third paragraph.

• Warmup matches: it should be "most of the teams"

• Group stage: No need to hide the summary. I'd suggest dividing it by groups rather than by weeks. I didn't read the summary as of now. I’ll read after you finish changing it.
• Super 8: change first line to "The top two teams from each group in the group stage advanced to the Super 8 stage, where they were divided into two groups of four teams each." it'll be better. Divide summary by groups and unhide it.

• The prose can be improved in various ways, but for the standard of GA, it will be good if you comply with the above-mentioned issues. VK wiki100 11:53, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

I have made the changes except for the summaries which I have unhid now. One question: Should the group-wise summary be placed along with points table & fixtures or should it be kept in a separate section...? Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 15:39, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
