A T20 match usually only lasts two to three hours, making the format popular amongst casual and die-hard cricket fans. Created for a fast-paced version of cricket, which would work for television, it has exploded and become one of the most preferred ways for fans to watch cricket.
The Men's 2024 T20 World Cup will be played across nine stadiums in both host nations:
The Men's T20 World Cup takes place every two years, so die-hard cricket fans don't have to wait too long to get a fix for a major international cricket tournament. However, if it clashes with the leading men's cricket World Cup tournament, the T20 World Cup will be played a year before.
England was crowned the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup winner against Pakistan. The tournament took place in Australia, and England secured only their second T20 World Cup title.
