Background

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.[3] The last tournament held in 2022 in Australia was contested by 16 teams.[4] The defending champions were England, who defeated Pakistan in the final of the previous edition.[5]

Host selection

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.[6] 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.[7]

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.[8]

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.[9] [10]

Format

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 a four-team semi-final or knockout stage.[11] 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.[12] [13]

Schedule

On 28 July 2023, ICC announced that the tournament will be played from 4 to 30 June 2024.[14] The revised schedule was announced on 5 January 2024, with the tournament scheduled to take place from 1 to 29 June. The teams would play 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, ICC announced that warm-up fixtures will be held from 27 May to 1 June.[16]

Venues

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.[35] 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.[36] 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.[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. Central Broward Park and Grand Prairie Stadium were to be expanded, with temporary grandstands and hospitality areas doubling their capacity during the tournament.[39] [40] [41] [42]

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.[43] 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.[44] [45] 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.[46] 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.[47]

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.[48] [49] 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.[39] [50] It marked the first temporary venue to have ever been used during an ICC World Cup.

In the first semi-final, Afghanistan won the toss and chose to bat.[161] Afghanistan scored just 56 runs in 11.5 overs before being bowled out.[162] South Africa would go on to score 60 runs in 8.5 overs winning the match. This was the first time that South Africa has reached the finals of an ICC Mens T20 World Cup.[163] It was also an historical low for Afghanistan and is their lowest ever score in T20Is. Afghanistan's score was also the lowest ever score scored in an ICC Mens T20 World Cup semi-final.[164] The player of the match award was awarded to South African all-rounder Marco Jansen for taking 3 Afghani wickets.

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.[165] 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. India's Kuldeep Yadav took 3/19 in 4 overs.[165] Indian spinner Axar Patel was awarded with the Player of the match award.[166] India qualified for their third T20 World Cup final after previously having won the tournament in 2007 and being runner-up in 2014.[167] [168]

Final

See main article: 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup final. 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.[169]

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.[170] Kohli, Sharma and Jadeja announced their retirement from the T20 international format after the final.[171] 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.

Team of the tournament

Broadcasting

In India, Disney Star handled host broadcasting for the tournament.[172] 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.[173] 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.[174]

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.[175] [176]
