ICC T20 World Cup 2024 USA/West Indies (June 2-June 29)

[NYRB]

The draw came out last night for the T20 World Cup.

Games spread across different cities.

A clear group of Death in Group D. Things kick off between USA and Canada.

 

[Cleavy]

No USA games for us.

 

[NYRB]

I reckon the Netherlands can win the World Cup, they are my smokey to win it .

 

[NYRB]

No USA games for us.

what do you mean? are you attending the games in the West Indies?

 

[Cleavy]

All of Australia’s games are in the West Indies is what I meant.

Thinking of going to the games in the US. Id imagine the Indian matches (they play 3 in New York and 1 in Florida) will be all sold out.

I also notice with their schedule there a few Group Stage( Super 8s) and Group matches in initial stages, matches clash. Im seeing some instances up to 3 games being played at the same time.

[NYRB]

Looking forward to the oldest rivalry in cricket in the tournament opener.

 

[Cmarsh]

Group A certainly manipulated so the big drawing rivalries are matched up.

If it’s 10am Barbados time, that roughly aligns with primetime in the subcontinent doesn’t it?

Yep pretty much, games are also on a reasonable time in WA with most of those games in the Caribbean around 10pm local WA time, which is around 8PM Indian Standard Time.

There is zero chance they are playing games at 10am in the morning

I was thinking it would be crazy but Cricinfo is suggesting otherwise. I do believe 7-9PM pretty much prime time in India is what the broadcasters and ICC would want.

eg



I follow the Caribbean premier League matches and from memory alot of the games started either 7 AM Perth time or 10PM Perth time. With a mix of day and night games.

From what I've seen the ICC haven't announced times yet. No chance every game is played in the morning local time IMO

 

[NYRB]

Looking at the Group Stage games, the games Im looking forward to are:

1. India v Pakistan
2. Australia v England
3. South Africa v Netherlands
4. Canada v USA
5. West Indies v Afghanistan
6. Sri Lanka v Bangladesh
7. Netherlands v Bangladesh
8. Scotland v England
9. New Zealand v Afghanistan
10. Nepal v Netherlands


India v Pakistan in New York will be the hottest ticket in town, dare I say it, more hotter than a New York Knicks home game.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

I'm interested in the crowds the USA will get for their games. Obviously their India game will sell out, but I'm intrigued to see if Americans get around the event or not

Maybe they should've played the MLC before the WC to generate some interest

 

[NYRB]

Interesting few choices early to win the World Cup: Uganda, USA and Papua New Guinea from the poll.

On a serious note, I do see plenty of upsets in this years World T20.

I reckon Ireland could potentially beat Pakistan, Netherlands could beat South Africa and ill throw in a surprise Scotland to beat the old enemy in England.

 

[NYRB]

Scotland beat the West Indies int he 50 over format and T20 World Cup qualifier in 2022 in Australia. And we saw just what the West Indies did to England recently in the 5 T20s over there.

Nice to see the Aussies get 4 genuine minnows in our group.

England, Scotland, Namibia & Oman.

I’ve only just had a look at the groupings - how is it that the two most recent champions get drawn in what looks even by what is a tournament with a lot of pretty dicey looking groups, a fairly weak looking pool?

2nd, 5th, 11th, 14th and 18th in the World seems completely normal for a group in a tournament of 4 groups of 5?

The India Pakistan group is 1st, 4th, 12th, 20th and 23rd.

NZ/WI is 3rd, 7th, 10th, 19th and 22nd.

SA/SL is 6th, 8th, 9th, 15th and 16th.

They'd better get started building the stadium...

 

[NYRB]

Wise move by PCB:

 

[akkaps]

Mohammad Amir comes out of retirement as well

According to all cricket websites there are about 25 out of the 55 games with a 10:30am local time start throughout the tournament...Including one of the semi finals & the final at that time slot.
