Also, it is the first time in the history of the T20 World Cup that 20 teams will participate in the tournament. T20 World Cup began in 2007 and India was the first crowned champion of the tournament.
T20 World Cup 2024 League Stage
ICC has divided the 20 participating teams into four equal groups for the first stage of the tournament. Two teams from each group will qualify for the Super 8 or the second stage of the tournament.
