And what are the venues where the T20 World Cup 2024 matches will be played?

The 2024 T20 World Cup will be played across nine venues. Apart from Dallas and Bridgetown, there will be matches in Providence, New York, Lauderhill, North Sound, Gros Islet, Kingstown and Tarouba.

Which teams are participating in the T20 World Cup 2024?

There are 20 T20 World Cup teams this year, the most in the history of the tournament. Apart from the hosts West Indies and USA, the eight best-placed teams from the 2022 edition also gained automatic qualification – England, Pakistan, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Australia and Netherlands. Afghanistan and Bangladesh also gained automatic qualification through their place in the men’s T20I team rankings.Ireland and Scotland made it through the European qualifier, while Canada won the Americas qualifier. Nepal and Oman progressed from the Asia qualifier, while Namibia and Uganda were the two qualifying teams from Africa. Papua New Guinea won the East Asia-Pacific qualifier.

What is the format for the T20 World Cup 2024?

The 20 teams have been divided into four groups of five teams each. These are the groups . Each team plays each other once with the top two sides from each group making it to the Super Eight stage, where there will be two groups of four teams each. The top two teams from these groups will progress to the semi-final.

Super Eights: how will the teams be grouped and seeded?

Eight teams have been allotted pre-decided seedings that they will retain for the Super Eight stage, provided they qualify. These teams, and their seedings, are:A1 – India, A2 – Pakistan
B1 – England, B2 – Australia
C1 – New Zealand, C2 – West Indies
D1 – South Africa, D2 – Sri LankaThe seedings for the other teams are not fixed. To understand it further, if D1 and D2 qualify from group D, and D2 top the group, D2 will not be given the D1 slot in the Super Eight stage despite topping the group. They will continue with the pre-decided fixtures in Super Eight that have been scheduled for D2.But if, say, D3 or D4 qualify in place of, say, D1, the qualified team will replace D1 in the Super Eight.If D3 and D4 both qualify, then the group topper will play D1’s fixtures and the team that finishes second will be allotted D2’s matches.Once the eight teams are known, they will be grouped into Super Eight as follows:Group 1: A1, B2, C1, D2
Group 2: A2, B1, C2, D1The fixtures for the Super Eight stage, starting June 19, are already listed with the teams’ seedings. No points will be carried forward from the first round to the second.

What happens if a match ends in a tie?

A Super Over will decide every tied match, and if that ends in a tie, there will be another Super Over and so on until a result is achieved.

And how are matches decided if the weather plays spoilsport?

In case of rain or bad weather in the group stage and Super Eight matches, each team will have to be able to bat at least five overs for a result to be declared. However, as was the case in the previous edition, the two semi-finals and the final will need each team to be able to bat a minimum of ten overs for a result to be possible.The 15-member Nepal squad for the T20 World Cup poses for an official photo•NurPhoto via Getty Images

What about the knockout matches, then?

The first semi-final and the final have reserve days but the second semi-final doesn’t, as there is only a day’s gap between that match and the final.A total of 250 minutes of additional time is available for each semi-final. The first semi-final, on June 26, will have an extra 60 minutes at the end of the day’s play and a further 190 minutes the next day on June, starting from 2pm local time. The second semi-final, on June 27, will have 250 minutes available on the scheduled day since it doesn’t have a reserve day.The final has a reserve day on June 30, with the hours of play scheduled for 10.30am local time, and a maximum of 190 minutes extra on both days.In case of the first semi-final and the final, if the match is shortened (say, to ten overs per side) and it starts on the scheduled day but cannot be completed that day because of weather interruptions, it will resume on the reserve day as the same shortened game from where play was abandoned on the previous day.India will play the second semi-final should they reach the knockouts.

What happens if the semi-finals and/or final are abandoned?

If weather conditions do not allow a semi-final to be completed, the team that finished first in their group in the Super Eight stage will progress to the final. The same rule will be applicable if the Super Over after a tied semi-final is also not possible because of poor weather.If the final (or the Super Over after a tied final) is abandoned because of poor weather, the two teams will be declared joint winners.

Which teams have previously won the men’s T20 World Cup?

Seven teams have previously won the men’s T20 World Cup. India won the inaugural edition in 2007, while West Indies and England are the only teams to win it twice. England are also the defending champions.Here is the full list of winners:2007 – India
2009 – Pakistan
2010 – England
2012 – West Indies
2014 – Sri Lanka
2016 – West Indies
2021 – Australia
2022 – England

He batted slow, trusted his defence and played another sublime innings when no one else could get to even 20

Andrew Fidel Fernando17-Jul-2022Babar Azam is the top-ranked ODI batter, 77 rankings points ahead of the next guy (Imam-ul-Haq). He is also the top-ranked T20I batter but is ahead of the second by a slimmer margin (Mohammad Rizwan is 24 points back).In Tests, though, the format that matters, the purists’ format, the thing that gets you into Wisden, he’s ranked a paltry fourth. Above him Joe Root (obviously), Steven Smith (partially riding on past glories), and Marnus Labuschagne (originally a discounted Steven Smith who has now proved more popular in the market since the rumours that the original has declined in quality).Related

• Babar: Shafique can become 'one of the best' in the world

• Babar ton restricts SL lead after Jayasuriya's five-for

We’re comparing him to the best now. Is the Big Four, now the Big Five? Root, Smith, Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, and…. Babar? We have to be comparing, right? This is sport. You cannot exist in a universe all on your own. No player is an island. Forget that the others on that list are four to five years older than him, which in cricketing years, is at least one generation removed, maybe more. They are setting the standard. The over-arching narrative is there. We must make Babar fit into it.Must we though? Do we have to play this game? Is the cricket world really the kind of even place where star batters from teams such as England, Australia and India, and to a lesser degree New Zealand, can fairly be compared to Babar? We don’t have to drag capitalism into it, but you know if we did, that analysis would not land in Babar’s favour.In this innings in Galle, Babar hit 119 runs. Sri Lanka series are not high-octane, or high-prestige, and they won’t get you into the big global lists. Even at home, they’ll move the needle less, you’d think, than series against the Big Three, or even South Africa.Babar, though, is there. Playing another sublime innings, on what is already a big-turning pitch. He plays (late, and under his chin) for the straighter one from Prabath Jayasuriya, which has duped his team-mates and brought lbw dismissals. He bats slow, trusting his defence, when plenty of great batters have hit out at this venue, reasoning that a good ball will inevitably get them out so why not make runs before it does.Babar Azam thanks the Almighty after reaching his seventh Test ton•AFP/Getty ImagesBut this is Babar we are talking about, and the good balls that get the best out are still not too good for him, so he is in his own space, playing as he thinks he should, and likely constructing an innings only he is capable of. In the last two weeks, we’ve had Smith and Labuschagne on this surface too. They produced innings of varying quality – Labuschagne progressing to a hundred on a flatter Galle track than the one on display now, though only after being let off early on.They never looked like they trusted their game like Babar.And rarely will the best batters around the world have their team-mates abandon them as happily as Babar’s did. Babar faced 244 balls in this innings. The next best was Yasir Shah who batted out 56 balls. Divide Babar’s 119 by six, and he’d still be the top scorer for his side. There are lone vigils, and then there’s dragging the bodyweight of your entire top order like vegetables in a gunny bag to the market vendor you need to sell it to, and that was basically Babar.He was on 28 when the seventh wicket went down. Then 38 for the eighth; 55 when the ninth fell. Then, farming roughly 72% of the strike, he more than doubled his score, on a pitch that no one else in his team could get to even 20. Though he was never in a rush through the course of this innings, he occasionally ventured the kinds of salvos that let you know, that if he wanted to, he could. Three successive fours off Kasun Rajitha towards the end of the second session, for example, one drilled down the ground, another crashed over midwicket, the third whipped over square leg.In the long view of this career, this innings might not be part of the central folklore. But a batter hitting 82 runs in the company of Nos. 9, 10 and 11, is not un-spectacular. It’s futile to pretend we won’t compare him with the others, because of course we will. But across formats, across pitch conditions, oppositions, match situations, perhaps we seed the thought there is something special happening here that is happening nowhere else.

West Indies’ quicks had to bide their time through the first two sessions but came back strongly

Nagraj Gollapudi11-Jul-2020″Morning. Morning! Go get your coffee, doubles, souse, ackee and saltfish because the forecast today predicts PACE from Gabriel, Holder, Roach and Joseph. With a few isolated spinning overs from Chase.”An excited social media manager posted that message on CWI’s Twitter before play on Saturday. If you had watched the first two sessions on what was another sunny day in Southampton, you might have wondered what exactly this person was on.At tea, Kemar Roach was wicketless. Shannon Gabriel had got the better of Dom Sibley, mostly due to error from the batsman. Alzarri Joseph bowled with speed, but the wicket column was empty. Jason Holder once again was on the money, but wickets were not to be found.ALSO READ: Play late: West Indies template for success in EnglandIt was not their fault, though – the Windies pace quartet were all honest triers. They all showed skill, pace, improvisation. Yet the pitch offered no favours. There wasn’t even a modicum of movement, in the air or off the pitch, for the seamers. Roach and Gabriel took a while to adjust with their line and length, which allowed Sibley and Rory Burns to pick up some easy runs and settle down quickly in the first hour.In the first innings West Indies had the support of the conditions – damp and overcast as Holder flattened England with a career-best figures. Roach had told ESPNcricinfo that fast bowling would be real hard work in the absence of saliva. Even the sweat was minimal considering it was the bowler alone who was exerting himself. The outfield was green so while the ball was getting old there was no reverse swing.But there was one option still available to deny England taking the match away: drying up the runs. And that is where Roston Chase, the offspinner, came in. He who surprised England last year with a match-winning eight-wicket haul. Even though the fast men failed to get any purchase, Chase did get the ball to turn significantly.Chase straightway created the doubts by pitching in and around the rough. Towards the end of his second over, bowling from round the stumps, and wide, he pitched an offbreak on Burns’ off stump which spun away. Luckily for Shane Dowrich there was no edge as the Windies gloveman failed to gather the ball cleanly. But the turn, which was appreciable, motivated Chase.

When West Indies did show intent, they reaped the rewards. The best example of that came close to the hour before stumps when Holder challenged his counterpart

The pressure was created in tandem, with Holder once again showing the discipline to keep things simple and allow no relief to the batsmen. The runs dried up. In the 14-over spell they bowled before lunch the pair gave away just 22 runs, including bowling six maidens. Sibley and Burns got sucked in to the disciplined interrogation by Chase and Holder. It was a game of patience now and West Indies were winning. Burns blinked, going to what appeared to be a premeditated cut, off balance and offering the point fielder an easy catch.West Indies kept the leash tight in the second session. According to ESPNcricinfo’s stats team, West Indies’ economy rate of 2.3 just before tea on Saturday was their most economical bowling innings in the last 15 years, when they have bowled 40 or more overs with five or fewer wickets to show for their efforts. Little wonder this West Indies fast bowling attack is being recognised as one of their best ever.If there was one thing the quartet could be accused of it was not showing enough aggression in the first two sessions. Despite having the knowledge that both Burns and Sibley are vulnerable against the short ball, Roach and Gabriel did not test the England openers in the first hour.But when they did show the intent, they reaped the rewards. The best example of that came close to the hour before stumps when Holder challenged his counterpart. Ben Stokes was desperate to take the upper hand against the second new ball and had punched some solid drives against both Roach and Gabriel.But in his second over, Holder bounced Stokes, who had once again been standing outside the crease. Next ball, Holder banged on the seam closer to Stokes, who was beaten by the ball jumping quickly on him. Holder quipped a few words as Stokes gestured that he should have tapped the ball past the two gullies.Roston Chase celebrates after dismissing Rory Burns•Getty ImagesTwo balls later Stoke once again started to move outside off to steer the ball, but Holder, coming from slightly wider, angled the ball away with a straight-ish seam. Stokes duly poked to one of the gullies as Holder jumped in delight. Next over, Zak Crawley, England’s best batsman on the day, pushed a return catch to Joseph who was in the middle of a fierce spell. Soon after Joseph would send Jos Buttler’s leg stump flying, courtesy an inside edge.Joseph had not been bowled for virtually the first two hours. He was earmarked as the man that would leave a mark on this series by West Indies head coach Phil Simmons on the eve of the Test. Yet Joseph was only brought on for a few overs before lunch. Did West Indies miss an opportunity by not letting him loose?But it seemed all part of a plan as Joseph showed late in the afternoon. Soon, Gabriel joined the party too. And Roach, the man on cusp of a significant milestone? He might have not got a wicket in this match so far, but he created pressure with his control and accuracy from the second session onwards.So, yes, the person who sent out that tweet in the morning knew what he was talking about. Pace did have the say, but with ample help from Chase. Discipline earned West Indies the wickets and the upper hand in this Test. Now comes the next challenge.Holder’s men have never been in this position before: of taking the lead in an away series against major opposition. The last time they went 1-0 up in England was 20 years ago at Edgbaston. Before that, they went ahead in 1995 when they won at Leeds in a series that was eventually drawn. In 1988, Viv Richards’ team took the lead, and also won the series – the last time West Indies did so in England. For the millions in Caribbean the possibility of a repeat could be all too heady to imagine.The question now for Holder’s Windies is: can they keep their heads on Sunday?

The Dodgers withstood a late Phillies comeback to take a 2-0 lead in their National League Division Series on Monday night. Shohei Ohtani went 1-for-5 with a single and drove in what ended up being the game-deciding run to cap off a four-run seventh inning for Los Angeles.

Ohtani also had some priceless reactions that were captured on film during his five plate appearances.

For example, the reigning NL MVP made a pained face after fouling off a 2-2 pitch in the first at-bat of the game. That's a man who feels like he missed his pitch.

Projections said the league would have many more matches per season but we’re still at 74 and that doesn’t look likely to change soon

Matt Roller23-Apr-2025Something almost unheard of happened in the world of sports broadcasting recently. The number of IPL games a season, stipulated to increase to 84 in 2025, according to the IPL’s lucrative media-rights contract of 2022, remained at 74 for the fourth successive year.The decision defied a global trend of incessant growth in sports leagues and events: football’s World Cup and Champions League have both swelled in recent years, while the Club World Cup is growing from seven matches to 63. But in the IPL, even an incremental expansion has been treated with caution, to the point of being deferred.This has been true across the league’s 18-year history. The IPL has become a commercial behemoth since its launch in 2008, but its season has only grown from 59 matches between eight teams to 74 between ten. In fact, the current format is two matches than that used in 2012 and 2013, soon after the IPL’s first expansion to include additional franchises.Related

IPL 2025 vs IPL 2024: Scoring rates dip as finishers lose their fizz

How can the IPL become a global sports giant? (2018)

A significant change has been the dramatic decline in the number of double-headers. The past two seasons have seen only 12 games played in the afternoon slot, less than one in six; back in 2011, that proportion was more than one in three. The result is a longer IPL window, with the season now stretching past nine weeks.Players much prefer evening games, as demonstrated by Ishant Sharma’s obvious discomfort after bowling in the 40-degree Ahmedabad heat on Saturday. But the decline in the number of afternoon games owes primarily to the decline in broadcast ratings for games that start at 3.30pm compared to 7.30pm – around 30-40% percent lower for the earlier-starting matches.
