There will be fierce competition in India Pakistan, UAE is ready, both teams in the same group

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the group of T20 World Cup matches. The groups were determined in Oman on Friday. Interestingly, India is in the same group with its arch-rivals Pakistan. Both are in Group-2 of Super-12. The last time both the teams met was in the 2019 ODI World Cup, in which India won.

Due to the Corona epidemic, the T20 World Cup will be played in UAE and Oman instead of India from 17 October to 14 November. BCCI President Sourav Ganguly and Secretary Jay Shah also participated in the ceremony in Oman along with ICC officials. The match schedule of the T20 World Cup is likely to be released next week.

Eight qualifying teams will participate in the first round of the tournament, which will be played in Oman and UAE. Four of these teams will reach the Super 12 round. Eight teams in the preliminary round include Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Netherlands, Scotland, Namibia, Oman and Papua New Guinea. The final of the tournament will be played on November 14.

The upcoming tournament will be the first T20 World Cup after 2016. The last time the West Indies won the title by defeating England. India defeated Pakistan by 6 wickets in the group match of Super-10. In the semi-final, India had to face defeat by 7 wickets at the hands of Windies.
