    The 2022 edition of ICC T20 World Cup is scheduled to play from October 16 to November 13 in Australia. The matches will be played across Adelaide, Brisbane, Geelong, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney.

    The semi-finals will take place at the Sydney Cricket Ground and the Adelaide Oval, with the final taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. A total of 45 matches will be played between 16 countries in the Group stage and knockout format.

    Namibia, Netherlands, Sri Lanka, and UAE have been placed in Group A while Ireland, Scotland, West Indies, and Zimbabwe were placed under Group B. The winner and runner-up of each group will be qualified for the group matches.

    Only a small number of tickets remain for the event’s opening match-day, which pits Sri Lanka against Namibia before UAE face the Netherlands at the 36,000-capacity Kardinia Park Stadium in Geelong. READ: T20 World Cup 2022 Tickets Booking – With Ticket Price
