The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup was the ninth edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, co-hosted by Cricket West Indies and USA Cricket from 1 to 29 June 2024. It was the first major ICC tournament to include matches played in the United States. The West Indies had previously hosted the 2010 competition. A total of twenty teams competed in 55 matches across six venues in the West Indies, and three in the United States.
The number of participants was increased from sixteen to twenty 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; and 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 seven runs in the final. India won all their matches, and were the first team to win a T20 World Cup undefeated. They joined England and West Indies as the only teams to win the title twice.
Background
[edit]The ICC Men's T20 World Cup is a biennial world cup for cricket in Twenty20 International (T20I) format, organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC), and 2024 was the ninth edition.[1] It was first played in 2007 in South Africa.[2] The eighth edition, held in 2022 in Australia, was contested by 16 teams,[3] and was won by England, who defeated Pakistan in the final.[4]
Host selection
[edit]In November 2021, as part of the 2024–2031 ICC men's hosts cycle, the ICC announced that the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup would be played in the West Indies and the United States.[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; the teams played each of the other four in their group—a total of ten matches per group—and the top two teams in each group advanced to the Super 8 stage. The advanced teams were divided into two groups of four teams based on pre-tournament seedings; the teams played each of the other three in that group—a total of six matches per group—and the top two teams in each advanced group advanced to the knockout stage.[10][11]
Prior to the tournament, the ICC announced the eight seeded teams for the Super 8 stage based on their T20I rankings ahead of the tournament. 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.[12][11]
Schedule
[edit]The month of June 2024 was allocated to the tournament on the 2023–2027 ICC Men's Future Tours Programme.[13] On 28 July 2023, ESPNcricinfo reported that the tournament would be played from 4 to 30 June 2024.[14] The finalized 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.[15] On 16 May 2024, the ICC announced that warm-up fixtures would be held from 27 May to 1 June.[16]
Prize money
[edit]The ICC allocated a pool of $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 won excluding the semi-finals and final.[17]

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.[18] Former cricketers Yuvraj Singh,[19] Chris Gayle, and Shahid Afridi,[20] as well as Olympic athlete Usain Bolt,[21] were named as the ambassadors of the tournament.[22] The official theme song for the tournament titled "Out of This World", produced by Tano and performed by Sean Paul and Kes was released on 2 May 2024 under the Ineffable Records label.[23] It also has 3 remix versions.[24]
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.[25] 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.[26] In May 2022, the ICC confirmed the sub-regional qualification pathways for Europe, East Asia-Pacific, and Africa.[27]
In July 2023, Ireland and Scotland qualified from the Europe Qualifier,[28] followed by Papua New Guinea from the East Asia-Pacific.[29] Canada secured its qualification in October 2023 after winning the Americas Qualifier.[30] The following month, Nepal and Oman qualified after reaching the final of the Asia Qualifier in Nepal.[31] Namibia and Uganda became the final two teams to qualify after ensuring a top-two finish in the Africa Qualifier[32] with Zimbabwe becoming the only Test-playing country that failed to qualify for the World Cup.[33] Canada and Uganda qualified for the men's T20 World Cup for the first time,[34] while the United States also participated for the first time by virtue of being co-host.[35]

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.[36] 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.[14] 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, expressing concerns for its environmental impact, and questioning the economic viability of the event.[37][38] 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.[39][40] Central Broward Park and Grand Prairie Stadium were to be expanded, with temporary grandstands and hospitality areas doubling their capacity during the tournament.[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,[43] with Jamaican sports minister Olivia Grange ruling out a bid on cost grounds.[44] In November 2023, it was announced that Trinidad's Queen's Park Oval, the country's primary cricket venue, 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 commenced.[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 finalise the fixtures for the tournament.[47] The New York stadium was slated to host the India–Pakistan group stage match, considered one of the sport's strongest rivalries.[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.[49] It marked the first temporary venue to have ever been used during an ICC World Cup.[50]

Super 8 summary
[edit]_(Cummins_cropped).jpg)
The twelve Super 8 matches were played between 19 and 24 June, beginning with South Africa against the United States, their first meeting in T20Is. South Africa won by 18 runs.[137] In the second match, defending champions England faced West Indies at the Daren Sammy Ground, with England emerging victorious.[138] The Group 1 teams were in action next day, and India scored 181/8 at Kensington Oval before bowling out Afghanistan for 134.[139] In a rain-affected match, Australia restricted Bangladesh to 140/8 with Pat Cummins taking his maiden hat-trick in T20Is.[140] This was the first hat-trick in the 2024 tournament, and the seventh in T20 World Cup history.[141] The Australian innings was cut short by the rain, but they won the match as they were 28 runs ahead of their DLS par score of 72 from 11.2 overs.[142]
In the next round of fixtures, South Africa defeated England in the first match by 7 runs.[143] The next match was a clash of hosts, West Indies taking on the United States. Batting first, USA scored 128, and West Indies chased down the target in 10.5 overs.[144] India scored 196/5 and then restricted Bangladesh to 146/8. Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh became the first bowler to take 50 wickets in T20 World Cup matches.[145] The eighth match saw a huge upset, Afghanistan defeating Australia by 21 runs.[146] Despite Australia losing, Pat Cummins took his second consecutive hat-trick in T20Is and became the only player to take more than one hat-trick in the T20 World Cup. This was the second hat-trick of the tournament and overall the eighth in the history of the T20 World Cup.[147]

The final round began with England playing the United States, who were bowled out for 115 in the first innings. Chris Jordan took his first hat-trick in T20Is, and became the first English player to take a hat-trick in the T20 World Cup. This was the third hat-trick of the tournament, and the ninth overall in the history of the T20 World Cup.[148] The target was then chased down in 9.4 overs,[149] and England qualified for the semi-finals, while the United States were eliminated from the tournament.[150] In the last match of Group 1, West Indies put up a total of 135/8. Following a brief delay for rain, South Africa's target was revised to 123 from 17 overs, and they achieved that with 5 balls to spare.[151] This meant South Africa qualified for the semi-finals, and West Indies were eliminated.[151]
On the last day of the Super 8, India played Australia in St Lucia. Batting first, India scored 205/5, their captain Rohit Sharma becoming the highest run-scorer in T20Is, surpassing Babar Azam; and also the first player to hit 200 sixes in T20Is.[152][153] In reply, Australia scored 181/7 to lose the match by 24 runs.[154] It was David Warner's final T20I.[155] With this win, India qualified for the semi-finals.[156] Later that day, Afghanistan beat Bangladesh in the final Super 8 match to advance to the knockout stage, eliminating Australia and Bangladesh.[157] Rashid Khan took his 150th wicket in T20Is.[158]

Semi-finals
[edit]
 |
In the first semi-final, Afghanistan won the toss and chose to bat. They scored just 56 runs in 11.5 overs before being bowled out.[161] It was their lowest-ever total in T20Is,[162] and the lowest by any team in a T20 World Cup semi-final.[163] South Africa went on to score 60 runs in 8.5 overs, and win the match.[161] The player of the match award was awarded to South African all-rounder Marco Jansen for taking 3 Afghan wickets.[164] This was the first time that South Africa had reached the men's T20 World Cup final.[164] The second semi-final was rain-affected. India scored 171 for the loss of 7 wickets,[165] and bowled out England for 103 in 16.4 overs.[165] The player of the match was awarded to Indian spinner Axar Patel.[166] India qualified for their third T20 World Cup final, having previously won the tournament in 2007 and been runners-up in 2014.[166]

Final
[edit]|
India won the toss and elected to bat first.[167] South Africa took three early Indian wickets of 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. However, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya bowled economically in the last 5 overs while also picking up wickets. South Africa ended their innings on 169/8, losing by 7 runs.[168][169][170] This victory marked India's first ICC title since the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, their first world cup title since the 2011 Cricket World Cup, and their second men's T20 World Cup title with the first being the 2007 title.[171] Kohli's knock of 76 runs off 59 balls (including 6 fours and 2 sixes) earned him the player of the match award.[172] Kohli, Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja announced their retirement from the T20I format after the final.[173] |

Broadcasting
[edit]Disney Star handled the global broadcasting rights as part of their deal with the ICC.[180] 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.[181] 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.[182]
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.[183][184]
