As you know, a first-round fixture will be played by the Group A and B clubs before the Super 12 rounds of this event. After that, two semi-finals will be held between two teams. It will be followed by the final match schedule for the ICC T20 World Cup.
Earlier, this competition was scheduled in India. However the pandemic scenario prevented the BCCI from welcoming this glorious event on the Indian grounds.
The eight qualifying teams will play games in the first round of the competition, divided into UAE and Oman. After that, four teams will be qualified from eight teams following the round of Super 12. These four teams are also apparently going to face the eight-team automatic qualifiers.
In 2016, the last T20 of the ICC men’s game was played. The tournament was scheduled on Indian soil, and West Indies won over England in that ICC T20 World Cup Finals.
The Time Table
We already know in advance about the semi-finals and finals which will be held in November. But, before that, these countries will be competing for playoffs with each other. Bangladesh, Ireland, Namibia, Sri Lanka, Netherlands, Scotland, Oman, and Papua New Guinea will be the nations to play here. The final match will take place on 14 November 2021.
However, matching schedules and places might change depending on the scenario, relying exclusively on the official sources. The ICC T20 World Cup 2021 India Squad roster was released by BCCI along with its playing 11 and standby players’ list.
The Venue
From the beginning, BCCI was adamant that the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup matches would only be organized in India. Unfortunately, India could not hold to this decision for much longer due to the pandemic crisis.
So, they planned it in Oman and UAE. Matches will occur at the grounds of the International Stadium of Dubai, Oman Cricket Academy Ground, Sharjah Stadium, and Sheik Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi from 17th to 14th November.
Final Thoughts
BCCI President Sourav Ganguly said that they are genuinely disappointed not to host the World Cup this year. However, they will look forward to hosting it in the future and give the audience a grand spectacle. As the UAE has planned to host this event, we hope it turns out beautifully without the pandemic causing any hindrance.
