About The Tournament

The ICC World Twenty20 will be staged in Bangladesh from 16 March to 6 April, with a total of 35 matches played across Chittagong, Dhaka and Sylhet in the 22-day tournament.

The format for the event has been changed following an increase in teams from 12 to 16. As the seedings are based on the ICC T20I rankings as of 8 October 2012, the top eight sides from the 2012 World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka 2012 will proceed directly to the Super 10 stage while Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, which finished outside the top eight, will participate in the first round that will be held from 16-21 March.

The first round of the men's event will include eight sides and twelve matches, with the teams divided into two groups of four teams each, with the table-toppers progressing to the Super 10 stage.

The six other teams in the first round advanced to the tournament after finishing in the top six of the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier in the UAE in November 2013. Ireland won the event after defeating Afghanistan by 68 runs in the final, and the top six teams from the tournament were Ireland, Afghanistan, Nepal, UAE, Netherlands and Hong Kong.

The Super 10 stage will start with an evening match between former champions India and Pakistan in Dhaka on Friday 21 March. Twenty matches in total will be played in this stage.

The two groups of the Super 10 stage are:

  • Sri Lanka, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Group B Qualifier
  • West Indies, India, Pakistan, Australia, Group A Qualifier
