The ICC T20 World Cup 2021 is scheduled to begin exactly one month from today, on October 17. The tournament will start with a qualifying round featuring former champions Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Ireland, Holland, Scotland, Namibia, Papua New Guinea and co-host Oman.
Initially, the T20 World Cup 2021 was set to take place in India. However, the BCCI shifted the tournament to the United Arab Emirates and Oman, keeping the COVID-19 situation in mind.
Co-hosts Oman will face off against Papua New Guinea in the opening match of the competition. The tournament will get more exciting once the Super 12 stage begins as that round will feature India, England, Pakistan, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, Afghanistan, New Zealand and four teams from the qualifying round.
In all, there will be 45 matches in the T20 World Cup 2021 with the grand finale scheduled to take place on November 14.
