The groupings:

Round 1

Group A: Sri Lanka, Ireland, the Netherlands and Namibia
Group B: Bangladesh, Scotland, Papua New Guinea and Oman

Super 12s

Group 1: England, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, A1 and B2.
Group 2: India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Afghanistan, A2 and B1.


The International Cricket Council (ICC) today announced the groups for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 to be hosted by the BCCI in Oman and the United Arab Emirates from 17 October to 14 November.

The groups, selected on the basis of team rankings as of 20 March 2021, see defending champions the West Indies pooled along with former champions England, Australia and South Africa in Group 1 of the Super 12s, with two qualifiers from Round 1 joining them.

Group 2 will comprise former champions India and Pakistan, New Zealand, Afghanistan and the other two qualifiers from Round 1. Eight teams will contest the first round including automatic qualifiers Sri Lanka and Bangladesh with the remaining six who booked their spot through the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019. Ireland, Netherlands and Namibia join Sri Lanka in Group A, whilst Oman, PNG and Scotland will face Bangladesh in Group B.

ICC Acting Chief Executive Geoff Allardice: “We are delighted to announce the groups for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021. There are some great match ups offered by the groups and it starts to bring the event to life for our fans as our first multi-team event since the onset of the global pandemic draws closer.

“Given the disruption caused by COVID-19, we selected the cutoff date as close as possible to the event to ensure we were able to include the maximum amount of cricket in the rankings which determine the groups. There is no doubt we will witness some highly competitive cricket when the event gets underway in just three months.”

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah: “With the announcement of groupings, our countdown for the ICC T20 World Cup kickstarts. There is nothing that separates the two groups as both are packed with sides that are highly competitive in the shortest format of the game. Having said that, the exciting T20 format is known for its surprises, and we must be prepared for the same. I am sure we will witness some exciting and nail-biting games

“I am particularly delighted to be in Oman. As a major force in world cricket, the BCCI has always endeavoured to promote and assist Associate Nations. In my capacity as Asian Cricket Council President, my vision is to take cricket far and deep into Asia. Co-hosting the World Cup will put Oman Cricket on the global stage. They are also playing the Qualifiers and it will be an icing on the cake if they make it to the Super 12s.”

BCCI President Sourav Ganguly: “It is good to get Oman in the frame of world cricket with the hosting of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. It will help a lot of young players take an interest in the game. We know it will be a world class event in this part of the world.”

Oman Cricket Chairman, Pankaj Khimji: “Oman Cricket has come a long way and today is a watershed moment for us to have ICC and BCCI here at Oman Cricket Academy to announce the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup groups!

Playing in and hosting the event gives us an opportunity to showcase not just our commitment to growing the game but also showcasing Oman as a welcoming destination to the world!

Vice President Emirates Cricket Board, Khalid Al Zarooni: "Understanding the current sporting climate, in such unprecedented times, Emirates Cricket congratulates the ICC, the BCCI and the respective teams on today's ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 groupings' announcement.

“Looking at these groups we anticipate a highly competitive, thoroughly enjoyable spectacle of international cricket. This is truly an aspirational tournament and one the wider UAE Cricket team is extremely excited to be involved in."

The venues for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 are Dubai International Stadium, the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, the Sharjah Stadium, and the Oman Cricket Academy Ground.”

The tournament schedule will be announced in due course.
 
Typical ICC selfishly cashing in on the India v Pakistan fixture
 
Tough group for Pakistan this. They could in theory lose to all of NZ, Afghanistan and India.

5-0 in T20s so far, including that group game in 2007 where Pakistan couldn't hit the stumps.

7-0 in ODI World Cups.

Genuinely worried for SriLanka.

They can lose to both Ireland and Netherland and miss qualification for Super 12.
 
Can some throw light on the WC format. I guess 3 top team from each group will get into knockout stages
followed by semi's and final.
 
Not a difficult decision to put Pak and Ind in the same group to make good chunk after the recent set backs due to pandemic.

Otherwise as per my understanding there is no globally known method of creating groups where no 2, 3 & 4 ranked teams are put together while 1, 5, 6 are in another group. Even if they wanted Ind and Pak in the same group, putting in NZ in the same group doesn’t make sense. As surely there must be a basic criteria or method of creating a group and putting in teams randomly without any basic criteria wont make sense. Unless I am missing something.

ICC is cashing on India - Pakistan game again. Sometimes I feel ICC is happy that we dont play bilateral cricket so that they can cash in on this game in ICC events.

Anyway it will be an epic game....cant wait for it :srini
 
NZ and Pakistan gonna advance..India will choke in group stage only..Kohli will get sack from White ball captaincy..

What were the ranking on 20th March 2021?

Also why is 20th March 2021 the cut-off date and not some more logical one, like 30th June 2021?

ICC giving the surprised pikachu face to the public after somehow India and Pakistan find themselves in the same group in the fixtures they announced:yk
 
For once I hope Pakistan turn up to the group stage game against India. We actually have our best T20i team or chance in ages to compete with India. Just need to get the bowling combination right this time

If this happens, Kohli and Shastri will be immidiately stripped from their respective roles. But I dont see it happening. India will top the group and advance to the next stage.

Question is who will be the other side - in paper it will be NZ but Pakistan can surprise in a tournament as well. Then we are also forgetting Afg who can be deadly dangerous in UAE.

Top 2 teams from each group will enter the semis as per my knowledge.

How is our best T20 team ever? The 2007-2010 team was much better.
 
Of course it's a complete coincidence that England and Australia, and Pakistan and India are in the same groups.
 
If Sri Lanka loses a game to one of Ire/Ned (very likely) and Bangladesh tops their qualification group (also very likely) , we'll have an Asia cup in group 2 with the addition of New Zealand. :))

I should have said ‘best T20i team in a long time’

Babar, Rizwan and Hafeez are very good batsmen. Fakhar/Sharjeel could take the game away from the opposition if they get going too.

We just need our bowlers to not get nervous and our fielders to step up. This has been lacking in the India/Pak fixture of recent years

To be honest, you will get your wish this time.

The UAE is your home terrain and our team will be fatigued and splintered from twin tours to England and Sri Lanka.

Will be happy to be proven wrong though.

So as per March rankings groups are:

Group A: 2 (Ind), 4 (Pak), 5 (NZ) & 8 (Afg)

Group B: 1 (Eng), 3 (Aus), 6 (SA) & 9 (WI)

Maybe makes bit more sense now.

Not sure about why the cut off time is March 31, possibly a standard rule to have it finalized 6 or so months in advance? Or the cut off time suited ICC for the groups they were trying to make. :smith

Have you not followed Asia cup 2018 on their so called home terrain? If we play to our potential...no way Pakistan can beat India. Upsets can happen but I wont bet on it.

As long as Misbah is there, he would select a very average combination. Misbah loves good-for-nothing Shadab, Fahim and anchors at top of the order, and hates Sharjeel. Our pace bowling is one of the worst it has been in recent years, lacking penetration and variety (Hasan Ali apart - but he too has been under Waqar now so there's no guarantee that he'd keep up his performance).

India has gun batsmen. They'd smash 250 against us
 
If Pakistan actually turn up in the group game and dump India out of the WT20, I won't mind that. In fact, it would actually do us a favour as it would pile up the pressure on Kohli and Shastri's positions.

Yeah it would dent the unbeaten record in world cups against Pakistan, but if we're being honest, it is always bound to get broken one day, particularly in a volatile format like the T20. If it's going to happen one day, it might as well happen in a game that leads to the ouster of Kohli and Shastri (actually Kohli mainly as I don't mind Shastri) because I'm positively confident that the Indian team under Kohli will choke at home in the 2023 ODI WC if Kohli retains his job till then. India losing at home against Pakistan in the ODI world cup is a far worse proposition than India losing to Pakistan in the WT20 in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
 
Looks like the other two teams in our group would be Ireland/Netherlands and Bangladesh.

ICC are always putting Pak and India in the same pool to capitalize on a house full sales but when it comes to bilaterals, they are like, it's between the boards, we can't do anything.

It's not even March 31, its mid-month -- March 20 !

Tournament starts on October 17, roughly 7 months after the cut-off they set.
 
Cut off date made to suit an India v Pak clash no doubt.

It's where the money is and what the sponsors want.

Yes but Misbah is so stubborn he won’t allow Fakhar and Sharjeel to open... this guy didn’t even wanna experiment vs Zimbabwe.
He will continue opening with Babar and Rizwan and they definitely aren’t natural openers. Pakistan’s best chance would be opening with Fakhar and Sharjeel Babar at 3, 4 Hafeez, 5 Rizwan, 6 Azam/maqsood, 7 imad, 8 Faheem/Shadab/Qadir, 9 hasan, 10 Amir??/rauf, 11 Shaheen

I'd rather Pakistan defeats India in this game - better to get rid of this bogey of an unbeaten world cup record against Pakistan. It is a silly record which only serves to create unwanted hype!
 
What an easy group for India. 😂

Group 1 is quite tough.

Sri Lanka may miss out on super 12s, very much possible. Shame Zimbabwe are not there, they missed out on qualifiers as they were suspended by the ICC at the time.
 
Their should be a creteria for these groupings and its a world cup their should be a mix of teams as per their continent . Group 2 has india pakistan new zealand and afghanistan, its very possible bangladesh and sri lanka join that group.

If that is the case group 2 is bascially asia cup plus new zealand, does not make any sense at all.
 
At this point, result is forgone conclusion, and anyone else thinking otherwise as Pak fans is setting himself up for yet another heartbreak. I for one will watch few starting overs just to make sure there ain't no miracle happening or not. Our much better teams have bottled vs Indian much inferior teams in past. And it's not even about quality of sides Pak is just cursed. And we have to live with it forever i think. I think this hudoo may never end, atleast not in our life time even if Pak become current India and India current pak quality wise.

Winning on big stage is not a silly record.
 
The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 is almost upon us, with the groups for the Super 12 Stage revealed. Take a closer look at the eight confirmed teams for the second stage of the tournament.


Super 12 – Group 1

England

England will be looking to back up their 50-over success in 2019 and will use a similar core of players in the UAE.

The country’s greatest T20 World Cup moment came in 2010 when they were crowned champions in the Caribbean, and they were close to repeating that effort in 2016 before Carlos Brathwaite’s late intervention.

Head-to-head record against other teams in the group

Eoin Morgan’s side have won their most recent T20 series against all of the other nations confirmed in Group 1. England overcame Australia 2-1 last year, and have won five matches and three series on the bounce against South Africa. They have not played the West Indies since a 3-0 win in 2019, but did of course lose twice to them in the last T20 World Cup – including famously in the final.

Top-ranked batter: Dawid Malan (1st) - The left-hander has been a rock for England in their top-order, playing the foil in an explosive batting order while still having the ability to put the foot down. With an average of 47.39 and a strike rate of 143.04, Malan shapes as a key man for Eoin Morgan's side.

Top-ranked bowler: Adil Rashid (3rd) - Dangerous and economic, Adil Rashid had been a constant in England's bowling attack. The leg-spinner has been leaking just 7.07 runs a year in T20Is in 2021, while striking every 21 deliveries.

Form (most recent result first):
Won by 89 runs against Sri Lanka
Won by five wickets against Sri Lanka at Cardiff
Won by eight wickets against Sri Lanka at Cardiff
Lost by 36 runs against India at Ahmedabad
Lost by 8 runs against India at Ahmedabad

Eoin Morgan (captain): “India are going to go into the World Cup as favourites – and I think it is justified. They are a really strong team, they have a lot of depth in their squad as well and have all bases covered. We’re on a different journey at the moment than we were going into the 2019 50-over World Cup.”


Australia

Australia have yet to win a T20 World Cup. The closest they came was a defeat to England in the 2010 Final, and they will have to perform well above their ranking (fifth) if they are to go one better in 2021.

Head-to-head record against other teams in the group

Australia lost their most recent T20 series against England 2-1 and were also beaten by the English in their only appearance in a T20 World Cup Final - back in 2010. The Aussies' record against the West Indies is similarly poor, and they currently trail the Caribbean outfit 3-1 in a bilateral series. But they do have the wood over South Africa, having won the most recent series over the Proteas 2-1 - with both wins coming at a landslide.

Top-ranked batter: Aaron Finch (3rd) - The Australia skipper is a giant of the T20I game, with the fourth-most runs (2439 at 37.52) in the format in the men's game. He also boasts the highest score in T20I cricket - an incredible 172 off 76 against Zimbabwe in 2018.

Top-ranked bowler: Ashton Agar (6th) - The left-arm finger spinner has been a key figure in Australia's attack for the past 12 months in T20I cricket, operating in tandem with Adam Zampa. As economic as they come (6.94), he boasts the fifth-best men's T20I figures of all time, having taken 6/30 against New Zealand earlier this year.

Form (most recent result first):
Lost by seven wickets against New Zealand at Wellington
Won by 50 runs against New Zealand at Wellington
Won by 64 runs against New Zealand at Wellington
Lost by 4 runs against New Zealand at Dunedin
Lost by 53 runs against New Zealand at Dunedin

Aaron Finch (captain): “Having played there (UAE) quite a bit over the last four or five years I think that we’ll be okay in terms of how our plan has gone, compared to if it was in India. We expect the wickets to be pretty similar: little bit of turn, and probably turning more and slowing up as the tournament goes on.”


South Africa

The Proteas are undergoing a period of transition in all forms of the game but their recent series win over West Indies is cause for optimism. They will be looking to carry on that form as they aim to go better than their semi-final appearances in 2009 and 2014.

Head-to-head record against other teams in the group

South Africa lost their most recent series against both England and Australia, but have a strong record against West Indies, with nine wins from their 15 meetings. Their 3-2 series win in the Caribbean this year was an upset result against the two-time T20 World Cup champions.

Top-ranked batter: Rassie van der Dussen (7th) - A model of consistency, van der Dussen has been used in every position from one to five in South Africa's batting order but has looked his best in the middle order.

Top-ranked bowler: Tabraiz Shamsi (1st) - The left-arm wrist-spinner has sat on top of the T20I bowling rankings since April and that's no surprise given his economy of 6.89, average of 25.05 and strike rate of 21.70. Across his past 10 T20Is, Shamsi has only leaked more than a run-a-ball in four matches and only twice gone at worse than seven-an-over.

Form (most recent result first):
Won by 25 runs against West Indies at St George's
Lost by 21 runs against West Indies at St George's
Won by 1 run against West Indies at St George's
Won by 16 runs against West Indies at St George's
Lost by 8 wickets against West Indies at St George's

Temba Bavuma (captain): "If you look at South Africa, we have always been a more than competitive unit, even to the point where the guys have got to positions of No.1 [in the world]. For me, it's about trying to define a style of play, create something that makes us accountable, and most importantly, to be able to institute that style of play in any conditions or any occasion."


West Indies

Boasting a fearsome batting line-up and a plethora of world-class all-rounders, the two-time defending champions will pose a major threat to any opposition. Champions in 2012 and 2016, the Caribbean outfit will take some beating this time around.

Head-to-head record against other teams in the group

The West Indies slumped to a 3-2 loss against South Africa earlier this year. They haven't played England for two years, but beat Eoin Morgan's side twice at the last T20 World Cup, while they have a dominant record over Australia in the shortest form of the game and currently lead them 3-1 in a bilateral series.

Top-ranked batter: Evin Lewis (10th) - As powerful as they come, Lewis boasts a frightening strike rate of 157.21 at the top of the order, where he has played all 42 of his matches for West Indies. Few are as hard to stop when he gets on a roll

Top-ranked bowler: Fabian Allen (10th) - Electric in the field and powerful with the bat, it is with the ball that Allen is actually at his best. The left-arm finger-spinner shot up 16 spots on the most recent T20I bowling rankings update, and is very much a man in form.

Form (most recent first):
Lost by four runs against Australia at Gros Islet
Won by six wickets against Australia at Gros Islet
Won by 56 runs against Australia at Gros Islet
Won by 18 runs against Australia at Gros Islet
Lost by 25 runs against South Africa at St George's

Phil Simmons (coach): “We got to think a bit more and be a little bit smarter in our cricket, smarter especially in that seven to 14 overs (period). We’ve been good in the back end but we need to work on the middle section.”


Super 12 – Group 2

India

Currently number two in the rankings, India are well stacked in terms of depth in all departments and are chasing their first ICC trophy since winning the Champions Trophy in 2013. Their best performance to date in the T20 World Cup remains the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2007, where they were crowned champions.

Head-to-head record against other teams in the group

India have a strong record against all three of their confirmed group opponents. They have never lost to Afghanistan and have tasted defeat just once in a T20I again Pakistan, winning the last four meetings with their neighbours. Virat Kohli’s side won 5-0 in the most recent T20 series against New Zealand, although remarkably two of their last three games against the Kiwis have ended as ties, with India winning both one-over eliminators.

Top-ranked batter: Virat Kohli (5th): The India skipper will be front and centre in opposition game plans and rightly so. Kohli is the greatest run-scorer in T20I men's cricket history, with 3159 runs to his name at an average of 52.65 - the best of anyone who has batted at least 20 times.

Top-ranked bowler: Washington Sundar (15th): With India rotating their bowlers regularly over the past two years in T20I cricket, Sundar is a surprise name at the top of their rankings but brings plenty to the table with his right-arm off-spin. A disciplined spinner, don't expect Sundar to give away any easy runs.

Form (most recent first):
Won by 36 runs against England at Ahmedabad
Won by 8 runs against England at Ahmedabad
Lost by eight wickets against England at Ahmedabad
Won by seven wickets against England at Ahmedabad
Lost by eight wickets against England at Ahmedabad

Virat Kohli (captain): “England will be the team to beat. They’re the number one side in the world and the prime focus will be on them. All other teams will be wary of the strengths they bring to the park. Every other team will agree with me.”


Pakistan

Captain Babar Azam leads a quality squad looking to adding to their 2009 World Cup crown. Azam spearheads an impressive batting line-up, while a varied and dangerous attack has all the tools required for Pakistan to mount a strong challenge.

Head-to-head record against other teams in the group

Pakistan have not played Afghanistan in the format for eight years, winning that meeting – the only T20I match between the two nations to-date. They have beaten neighbours India just once in the 20-over format, losing the last four meetings. And Pakistan also lost their most recent T20 series against New Zealand, slipping to defeats in Auckland and Hamilton.

Top-ranked batter: Babar Azam (2nd): Both an accumulator and a dasher, Azam has looked a natural at T20I cricket ever since debuting in 2016. Only Kohli and Malan boast better T20I averages (minimum 20 innings) than his 47.32, and the Pakistani skipper boasts the record for the fewest innings (52) to the 2000-run mark in men's T20Is.

Top-ranked bowler: Shaheen Afridi (17th): Tall, fast and able to move the ball off the pitch and in the air, Afridi is a frightening proposition for any batter. If the 21-year-old finds his groove, Pakistan will prove to be the stiffest of oppositions.

Form (most recent first):
Won by 25 runs against Zimbabwe at Harare
Won by 19 runs against Zimbabwe at Harare
Won by 11 runs against Zimbabwe at Harare
Won by three wickets against South Africa at Centurion
Won by nine wickets against South Africa at Centurion

Mohammad Rizwan (vice-captain): "We don't have any issue in the top order. We're all settled in our positions, and the only problems we had were in our middle order. When it comes to me or Babar changing our position for the sake of the team, we will of course be ready to sacrifice."


New Zealand

Kane Williamson’s side are strong across all-formats and will be full of confidence after being crowned inaugural champions of the ICC World Test Championship. They reached the semi-finals in 2007 and 2016, which remain their best performances at a T20 World Cup.

Head-to-head record against other teams in the group

New Zealand have never played Afghanistan in a T20I. The Kiwis won 2-1 in the most recent 20-over series against Pakistan, but were smashed 5-0 in their 2020 series against India, with two of those losses coming in super-over eliminators.

Top-ranked batter: Devon Conway (4th) - Conway has been simply irresistible since making a late entry at the international stage and his numbers in T20I cricket are astronomical. Across 11 innings, he has made 473 runs at 59.12 with a strike rate of 151.11.

Top-ranked bowler: Tim Southee (7th) - Southee is enjoying a career-best year in T20I cricket, averaging 19.50 with the ball while leaking just 8.06 runs an over. Having finally won an ICC trophy in the World Test Championship, he'll be keen to collect another winner's medal at the T20 World Cup.

Form (most recent first):
Won by 65 runs against Bangladesh at Auckland
Won by 28 runs against Bangladesh at Napier
Won by 66 runs against Bangladesh at Hamilton
Won by seven wickets against Australia at Wellington
Lost by 50 runs against Australia at Wellington


Afghanistan

With an arsenal of spinners and explosive hitters, Afghanistan go into the Super 12 stage with every reason to be confident. Especially after beating Zimbabwe 3-0 in a recent T20I series. Given their strengths with and against the turning ball, they will be hopeful conditions in the tournament are to their liking.

Head-to-head record against other teams in the group

Afghanistan have yet to beat any of their Group 2 opponents, losing twice to India and once to Pakistan in their history. They are yet to face New Zealand in a T20 international.

Top-ranked batter: Hazratullah Zazai (12th) - The aggressive left-hander has excelled for Afghanistan since 2016, climbing as high as fifth on the batting rankings in 2019, and they will be hoping he finds his groove at the World Cup. An in-form Hazratullah makes Afghanistan a much more dangerous proposition.

Top-ranked bowler: Rashid Khan (2nd) - A constant near the top of the T20I bowling rankings, Rashid Khan is the fourth greatest wicket-taker in men's T20I history and it would be a shock if he didn't finish his career on top of the charts. Averaging a scarcely believable 12.63 with an economy of 6.21, he'll be keeping plenty of batters up at night.

Form (most recent first):
Won by 47 runs against Zimbabwe at Abu Dhabi
Won by 45 runs against Zimbabwe at Abu Dhabi
Won by 48 runs against Zimbabwe at Abu Dhabi
Tied (lost super over) against Ireland at Greater Noida
Won by 21 runs against Ireland at Greater Noida

Rashid Khan (captain): “I’m a great believer that a captain is as good as his team. It is my duty now to serve my country & my team.”
 
I’m an Indian but looks like my Indian fellows are getting over confident about winning against Pak.
It’s cricket and in T20s anything can happen.
Look at bigger picture. Let’s try to win WC than focusing on a single game.
Go India.

Yes, but in theory, we can also beat all three.

Realistically, we only need to beat NZ and AFG to have enough points, and we need to make it a close game with India.

Now, most of NZ batsmen have played on their own wickets, and haven't played on spinning UAE wickets.

Guptill in PSL was a prime example. On a dry wicket, we can easily overpower NZ to win.

AFG are a tricky case, because on a dry wicket, they are going to be incredibly dangerous, but with better batting and a better pace attack, we can beat them so long as we don't fumble.

IND is the biggest challenge by far. However, we are lucky that India's current spinners are performing poorly, and so we will need to negotiate their pacers well. Batting first is the trick, get a total on and then bowl well. Will be a great encounter if Pakistan post 180-ish and ask India to chase.
 
Might aswell not show up. India and Afghanistan will definitely beat us and NZ game depends on which side of the bed the NZ batters have got up on in terms of playing spin.

The previous group seeding favoured us better, as we had three teams circumspect at playing spin.
 
Listening to English commentators, they expect India and Pakistan to qualify in their group
 
All I'm hoping for is that we pummel Afghanistan black and blue, I can't wait to see one of their players start crying after losing the game and trying to cover their face with their kit like last time. Got a lot of respect for the Indian side given they have world class players and I do hope that we manage to beat them this time, we've beaten them in U19 tournaments and in Women's cricket at least once so there will come a time when the streak will end. I do believe Pak will go through but India are more likely to top the group.
 
I expect Pakistan to qualify for the next stage.

The easiest game in the group will probably be vs New Zealand, we whitewashed them the last time they came to the UAE.

Pakistan vs India is 50/50

Pakistan will beat Bangladesh comfortably.

Afghanistan could cause an upset.

We’ll beat Ireland.

So we should win 4/5 games, India will probably be unbeaten in the super 12.
 
Wouldn't be surprised if we are knocked out first round.

No comparison with India who are at another level, New Zealand is a well organised and structured team so they will definitely have plans set up and knowing how clueless our management and players are we can definitely see New Zealand's planning overcome any sort of advantage we have and Afghanistan on paper is a better team than us sadly, if they have one or two batsmen perform and score a somewhat decent total than our batsmen will definitely struggle to survive against their quality spin line up.

My prediction, we lose the big 3 games but when we beat the two qualifying teams our fans will rejoice to see the return of unpredictable Pakistan

really. Can lose to Afghanistan and Pakistan in T20Is any given day, especially in spin friendly UAE and NZ is our bogey team. I am a bit worried tbh.

According to some IPL fans here even IPL teams can beat teams like Afghanistan and Pakistan easily. You are getting worried unnecessarily. It should be a walk in the park for our team especially after playing in a very competitive IPL once again before the world cup. :inti
 
Under our clown skipper, expecting us to somehow top the group and bow out in SF against any side, even Oman or Scotland can get the job done at that stage. Unless he plays Rahane, Pujara ahead of SKY, Hardik and decides to go at 3 rpo in the PP, exit will be earlier, he is capable of that. Biggest ***** and loser in the history of cricket.

Prefer getting thrashed by Pak, NZ, Afg and bowing out in the group stage. Something drastic must be done to save ourselves from this cancerous team management. Of course it will hurt but nothing compared to 2023 WC humiliation at home if the evil, corrupt, despotic regime of Kohli manages to steer our ship there.

NZ is our bogie team, dont expect any positive result against them at ICC events.

And then Pakistan also does look threatening and can easily beat us if their big players click. Babar or Rizwan are quite good but i think we can somehow tie down, its Fakhar Zaman who can cause serious damage coming in at 4 or lower. He is looking good once again and has the licence at that spot. Likes playing against us and especially our slower bowlers will be targetted. Plus their familiarity with the conditions.
 
New Zealand will crumble once the pitch starts spinning, the only practice they will get is from IPL where only 3-4 of their players will participate.

The rest who farmed runs on flat New Zealand wickets with short boundaries and no need to worry about spinners will get eaten alive in my opinion.

India is their own weakness if that makes any sense. Realistically, they should look forward to winning this T20 World Cup. Squad selection will be important for them, and so will Kohli. If Kohli doesn't hit the ground running, I can see India in some trouble, especially since he will be opening the batting.

Similarly, Pakistan needs to make sure that its big guns hit the ground running. Momentum beats strength in any World Cup. A team in good nick can knock over whoever they want, so that will be a key point to note.
 
Lagging behind India and England? No way, says Langer

Justin Langer brushes aside suggestions Australia lack short-form depth, saying he found perspective in a tough T20 series defeat to West Indies.

Justin Langer insists Australia are not lagging behind rivals England and India in terms of depth of short-form talent, though he admits their T20 International series defeat to the West Indies has given him perspective.

India are on the verge of adding a T20I series win to their 50-over series victory on their tour of Sri Lanka despite their entire Test squad missing the series.

England showcased their impressive limited-overs talent pool when their second-string ODI team swept Pakistan 3-0 after being forced to pick a completely new squad due to a COVID-19 outbreak.

The Aussie T20 side meanwhile, missing a handful of their best players, lost 1-4 to the West Indies earlier this month.

The reigning world champions in that format admittedly had welcomed back a host of top-flight short-form specialists while Australia, with no match practice leading into the Caribbean tour, were able to win the ensuing ODI campaign despite Aaron Finch going home with a knee injury.

Asked if Australia were falling behind England and India, Langer told cricket.com.au: "No I don't actually.

"I came out of the T20 series with some real perspective. Our guys hadn't played any cricket for three months and it's so hard to come off no cricket – you can have as many nets as you like, you can have practice games, but you can't (simulate match practice).

"The West Indies had come off a series against South Africa, they were a bit more battle hardened. I thought there were some really good signs, we were close in that series, we were close in that first (T20I). There was some really good signs coming out of that I thought.

"Every single time we have a selection meeting - it's so hard in Australian cricket, because there's so many guys you could pick. That's really positive.

"There's no way I'd say we're behind India and England in terms of talent. We've just got to get them some experience."

The upcoming five-T20I tour of Bangladesh will provide further opportunities for Australia's fringe T20 players to push their cases for this year's World Cup.

Langer singled out for praise the form of Mitch Marsh, with the allrounder now in the frame to bat at No.3 in the T20 side if Steve Smith is unable to recover from an elbow injury for the ICC tournament, alongside the captaincy of Alex Carey in Finch's absence and the encouraging 50-over form of Ashtons Turner and Agar.

But there are a handful of batters who have points to prove in Bangladesh, which could be Australia's last T20 games before the World Cup if a mooted tri-series with Afghanistan and the Windies does not get off the ground.

Big Bash stars Josh Philippe and Ben McDermott have only scored more than 16 twice in 10 innings between them in the Caribbean, with the latter now nursing an ankle injury of still unclear severity.

Moises Henriques has played every game and was vice-captain for the ODIs but is yet to make a standout contribution, not reaching double digits in the one-dayers while he has not been used with the ball.

"Australian cricket has ticked so many boxes (but) we haven't won a T20 World Cup, we haven't been dominant in that format," Langer told reporters.

"We've gotten better and better, we've had a couple of tough series with some complications and some challenges. But it was only a few months ago that we were ranked No.1 in the world (in T20Is) and we're very proud of that.

"The Big Bash is a great competition to keep developing our young Australian players, that's really important for Australian cricket.

"I think it's really important the BBL does that for us, like the IPL does for India … That will help us be a very good T20 side when the boys are all available."

ICC T20 World Cup Schedule anounced

New Zealand start their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 campaign against Pakistan in their Super 12s match at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on 26 October and play India three days later at the Dubai International Stadium, as the International Cricket Council unveiled the schedule today.

Apart from former champions India and Pakistan, New Zealand also have to contend with Afghanistan and two qualifiers from Round 1 in Group 2 of the Super 12 stage. Australia, England, South Africa and the West Indies along with two qualifiers form Group 1.

Sri Lanka, champions in 2014, Bangladesh, Ireland, Namibia, Netherlands Oman, PNG and Scotland, feature in Round 1 of the 16-team tournament, being hosted by India in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman through to 14 November.

Abu Dhabi will be the venue of the first semi-final on 10 November while the other semi-final (11 November) and the final (14 November) will be played in Dubai. All day matches are scheduled for 14h00 local time and the day-night matches are slated for 18h00 local time (+4 GMT).

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is looking forward to the event getting underway: “After so much disruption to world sport due to the pandemic it feels like there’s a lot of excitement about this T20 World Cup.

“It’s always a highly competitive event with every team possessing match-winners who can turn games quickly.

“I think we’ve got a pretty well-balanced side with a good mix of exciting new talent and some experience.

“We saw in last year’s IPL in the UAE that surfaces can change over the course of a tournament and seam bowling as well as spin can work in the conditions.

“We’ve got a strong pool with India, Pakistan and Afghanistan so far. All teams are strong which make way for an exciting competition I know our guys are really looking forward to another world event and being able to represent New Zealand on the global stage in these challenging times.

“Tournament play is unique and hopefully we can adapt to what’s in front of us and try and gain some momentum.”

West Indies captain Kieron Pollard is promising exciting cricket, the type that helped them defeat England in a pulsating final at the Eden Gardens in 2016 with Carlos Brathwaite blasting four consecutive sixes in the last over to turn the tables on 2010 champions England.

West Indies captain Kieron Pollard said: “We are excited to begin defence of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup title later this year. T20 cricket is dynamic and the international scene is highly competitive, with players constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation and we are expecting a spectacular event in the United Arab Emirates and Oman.

“We have a particularly interesting Super 12 group, which sees us come up against Australia, England and South Africa. We can’t wait to get started! West Indian cricketers have always played an exciting brand of cricket and I am sure our fans in the Caribbean and all over the world are highly anticipating seeing us in action.”

Pakistan captain Babar Azam said: “The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 schedule announcement brings us one step forward in our preparations for this much-awaited global tournament. We will utilise the build-up period by playing in home series against New Zealand and England and will not only aim to fine-tune our final outlook but also win as many matches as possible so that we can carry that winning form and momentum to the United Arab Emirates.

“For Pakistan, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 is like a home event as the UAE has been our venue for more than a decade. We have not only nurtured our talent and developed our side in the UAE but have also beaten the top sides in these conditions to peak to number-one in the ICC T20I Team Rankings.

“All the players are excited, motivated and enthusiastic, and view this tournament as an opportunity to showcase our prowess and re-establish our superiority in the shortest format of the game in conditions that suit us best.

“From a personal point of view, this will be my first ICC Major Event as Pakistan captain. I tasted success in 2017 and suffered disappointment in 2019 when we missed out on a semi-final spot by a fraction of a point despite beating both the finalists in league matches. I remain focused in inspiring my side with my performances so that we can become the first Pakistan side to win an ICC Major Event in Asia.”

Yet to fight in Group B of the First Round, co-hosts Oman aim to go deep in this year's tournament.

After their experience of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2016 First Round in India, Oman is targeting a top-two spot to enter the Super 12 stage in this year’s edition.

Buoyed by playing games on home soil at the Al Amerat facility, Oman will host Bangladesh, Scotland and Papua New Guinea in an open Group B, looking to go one better than their one-victory effort five years ago.

The occasion is certainly not lost on right-hand batter Aqib Ilyas, who has struck two centuries and six fifties in his international career thus far. Likely to play an important part in Oman’s campaign, the middle-order player was not a member of their 2016 campaign, though understands the scale of the tournament, especially as an opportunity for the game’s emerging stars to stand up.

“The T20 World Cup is one of the most popular sporting events taking place on the planet,” Ilyas said.

“It’s one of the best platforms for all Associate players and Associate teams to compete against the best playing nations.”

On paper, Bangladesh will provide Oman with the biggest test in their group, though the collective experience of Scotland and Papua New Guinea’s heavy T20 focus means Oman’s bid to progress, even in home conditions, will be no easy task in the eyes of Ilyas.

“All the teams are really competitive and they will try to give their best to secure their spot (in the Super 12 phase).”

Building from the last campaign and after a solid qualification campaign, coach Duleep Mendis is once again at the helm, keeping a tight ship alongside a unified team of support staff. As the mercury climbs during the day in Muscat, Oman’s preparation at home has been physically demanding, though Ilyas and the team are not using the conditions as an excuse.

“We’re really committed under the coaching of Duleep Mendis.

“The boys are working really hard as the weather is not supportive, it’s really hot, around 45 degrees.”

Oman were the last team to enter the tournament, beating Hong Kong by 12 runs in the playoff stages of the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019.

Scotland, on 9 September, announced their squad for the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup with Kyle Coetzer all set to lead the side, with former England batter Jonathan Trott roped in as batting consultant.

Scotland will announce a final 15-member squad by 10 October, with two reserve players tagging along.

The Scottish side sees the inclusion of veterans Richie Berrington, Calum Macleod, Safyaan Sharif, Matthew Cross and Ally Evans, who will be led by Kyle Coetzer.

The former England batter, Jonathan Trott has been roped in as batting consultant for the side. Trott's experience from the previous World Cups and the Ashes series will help the side prepare for pressure situations and acclimatise to the demands of ICC tournaments.

Scotland head coach Shane Burger reflected the same when he said, "What we have in Jonathan Trott is great knowledge and experience of high-performance environments. He’s played in World Cups, Ashes Series and travelled to many destinations around the world. He also understands the demands and high pressures of international sport and the environments that they bring with them and it’ll be fantastic to have him as a support in the build-up to the World Cup,”

Josh Davey, Michael Leask, George Munsey and Mark Watt, who were all in the squad for the last ICC T20 World Cup in 2016, also find a spot. While Dylan Budge, Chris Greaves, Oli Hairs, Chris Sole, Hamza Tahir, Craig Wallace and Brad Wheal will be part of the tournament for the first time.

Burger believes Scotland is prepared to show the world what they are capable of in the upcoming matches.

“This squad has worked hard over a long period of time now and deserves the opportunity to show the world what we are about. This is an experienced, versatile and exciting group of players and we’re looking forward to embracing the challenges ahead as a team.”

Scotland will commence their tournament's journey against Bangladesh in Round 1 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 on 17 October in Oman. They will then compete against Papua New Guinea (19 October) and Oman (21 October). The top two teams will move to the Super12 stage of the marquee event.

Full Squad: Kyle Coetzer (c), Richard Berrington (vc), Dylan Budge, Matthew Cross (wk), Josh Davey, Alasdair Evans, Chris Greaves, Oli Hairs, Michael Leask, Calum Macleod, George Munsey, Safyaan Sharif, Chris Sole, Hamza Tahir, Craig Wallace (wk), Mark Watt, Brad Wheal
 
Namibia name ICC Men’s T20 World Cup squad - David Wiese

Former South African international David Wiese has been selected in Namibia's ICC Men's T20 World Cup squad announced today.

Every ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 squads announced so far – CLICK HERE

Making their T20 World Cup debut this year, Namibia have named their squad to take on a competitive Group A of First Round action, led by Gerhard Erasmus.

With an injection of young talent who have shown glimpses in quality in home series against Uganda as well as South African and Zimbabwe Emerging sides, perhaps the biggest news is the inclusion of former South African international David Wiese, who now qualifies for the team.

The quick-bowling all-rounder features in six ODIs and 20 T20Is up until 2016, and comes with experience from travelling around on the domestic T20 circuit.

Since the World Cup Qualifier back in 2019, opener Jean-Pierre Kotze and spinner Zhivago Groenewald have called time on their international careers, and the likes of Niko Davin and Christi Viljoen have been left out in a nod to strong performances by the country's young crop.

Leg-spinning all-rounder Nicol Loftie-Eaton is one young player to keep an eye on, with Michael van Lingen yet to taste international cricket. 23-year-old Ruben Trumpelmann joins JJ Smit and Jan Frylinck in a left-arm trio of quicks.

Namibia have a tough initiation first up, facing Sri Lanka on October 19.

Squad: Gerhard Erasmus (c), Stephen Baard, Karl Birkenstock. Michau du Preez, Jan Frylinck, Zane Green, Nicol Lofie-Eaton, Bernard Scholtz, Ben Shikongo, JJ Smit, Ruben Trumpelmann, Michael van Lingen, David Wiese, Craig Williams, Picky Ya France

Reserves: Mauritius Ngupita

For those of you who don't know, Erasmus is performing really and this team could trouble others.

Surprised that Viljoen isnt there
 
Making their fourth appearance at the Men's T20 World Cup, the Netherlands have named their 15-player group, as they enter the First Round of the tournament.

Led by the experienced Pieter Seelaar, twelve men return from the World Cup Qualifier of two years ago, with Tobias Visee and Shane Snater also joining the group as travelling reserves.

After his omission from the World Cup Qualifier squad, 37-year-old Stephan Myburgh earns a spot in the squad, off the back of a rich period of run-scoring both domestically and in various international white-ball action. Myburgh carries experience from previous T20 World Cups, scoring 280 runs at an average of 31.11, with a strike rate of 145.83.

31-year-old Logan van Beek and 21-year-old Bas de Leede are new additions from the squad at the Qualifier, with van Beek returning to the Dutch setup and de Leede making his mark in the last eighteen months.

De Leede follows in the footsteps of his father Tim, who featured in all of the Netherlands Cricket World Cup matches from 1996 to 2007, and claimed Player of the Match honours with a spell of 4/35 against India in 2003.

With the bat, the Dutch boast balance throughout the order, with a number of options at the top of the order, and the likes of Ryan ten Doeschate and Roelof van der Merwe carrying the team through the middle overs. Myburgh’s career renaissance adds depth to the top, with Max O’Dowd, Ben Cooper and Scott Edwards all likely to feature.

Chiming in with runs of his own, captain and all-rounder Seelaar has no shortage of bowling options at his disposal, and will be encouraged by the results from the 2019 Qualifier, also in UAE. The pace battery of Paul van Meekeren, Timm van der Gugten, Fred Klaassen and Brandon Glover extracted life on typically slow surfaces, with van der Merwe, Colin Ackermann and Seelaar himself tying opposing teams in knots throughout the middle overs.

Pieter Seelaar’s men feature in a competitive Group A in the tournament’s First Round, where they’ll take on Ireland, Namibia and Sri Lanka.

Squad: Pieter Seelaar (c), Colin Ackermann, Philippe Boissevain, Ben Cooper, Bas de Leede, Scott Edwards, Brandon Glover, Fred Klaassen, Stephan Myburgh, Max O’Dowd, Ryan Ten Doeschate, Logan van Beek, Timm van der Gugten, Roelof van der Merwe, Paul van Meekeren; Reserves: Tobias Visee, Shane Snater

Tickets are available to fans to watch the top 16 T20 teams in the world vying for the ultimate prize in the shortest format, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup starting in Muscat on 17 October and concluding in the UAE on 14 November. With prices starting at just 10 OMR and 30 AED in Oman and UAE respectively, the event is accessible to all cricket fans. Tickets are available to purchase on https://www.t20worldcup.com/tickets .

In the UAE all venues will be operating at approximately 70% of maximum seated capacity, whilst Abu Dhabi has also introduced new socially distanced ‘pods’ of a maximum of 4 spectators on their east and west grass mounds. The Oman Cricket Academy has had a temporary infrastructure built to welcome 3,000 fans.

The ICC and event hosts BCCI have worked closely with host authorities to ensure fans can be welcomed in a safe environment and COVID 19 protocols will apply at all venues.

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 is the largest sporting event to be held in the region and it will be the biggest global cricket event since the pandemic with fans in stadia.

The schedule offers a host of key rivalry fixtures and mouth-watering match ups. The tournament kicks off with the Round 1 match between Oman and Papua New Guinea in Muscat. Whilst, Australia and South Africa play the first match of Super 12s on 23 October in Abu Dhabi followed by the replay of the 2016 final between England and West Indies also on 23 October in Dubai. One of cricket’s biggest rivalries, India and Pakistan, will take place on 24 October in Dubai.

Geoff Allardice, ICC Acting CEO said: "We are delighted to be welcoming fans back to international cricket in both Oman and the UAE to enjoy the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Our thanks to our hosts BCCI, Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) and Oman Cricket as well as the local governments in these regions for their support in ensuring fans could attend in a safe environment.

"The biggest sporting spectacle to have ever taken place in the region deserved to be played out in front of passionate cricket fans from all 16 nations competing and we are doing everything possible to keep it safe for all. It has been five years since the last Men’s T20 World Cup and we can’t wait for the world’s best players to arrive in Oman and the UAE and showcase the very best of T20 cricket."

Jay Shah, Honorary Secretary BCCI, said: “I am delighted that the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will be played in front of cheering fans both in the UAE and Oman. My sincere thanks to the government of the UAE and Oman for paving the way for fans to return. The anticipation for the World Cup, which is taking place after five years, is building with each passing day. I am sure we will have fans coming from different parts of the world to support their team. The vibe they will create will boost the performances on the field.

“The ticket sales have started, and I urge everyone to stay safe and follow the health advisories and savour the experience.”

In addition to the top quality cricket, fans will also get to enjoy a host of entertainment choices, including DJs, fan zones and various other exciting activations around each venue, offering families and the young plenty of fun.

Among full member nations Bangladesh, Ireland and 2014 winners Sri Lanka, there are also Namibia, Netherlands, Oman, Papua New Guinea, and Scotland all battling to qualify for the Super 12 stage. There are four available places joining Afghanistan, Australia, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and West Indies in the Super 12 stage.

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup promises to be a spectacle featuring cricket’s global superstars, among them Virat Kohli, Eoin Morgan, Kieron Pollard, and Babar Azam.
 
Looking forward to India-Pakistan game, i think Pakistan should play some surprise packages which india haven't prepared for in Bowling Shaheen and Hassan will play so 3rd seamer can be Wasim or may be try Dahani whoever they feel could catch India off guard , all bowlers Including Hassan, Haris and Hasnain aren't good new ball bowlers so Pakistan needs 1 new ball bowler who actually swings the ball and partners with Shaheen. In batting Khushdil could be a surprise may be if Nasir Nawaz was there could have been X Factor.

Match officials for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 announced

The International Cricket Council today announced the appointments for Round One matches and the Super 12 phase of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, comprising 20 of the best match officials from around the world.

16 top umpires and four experienced match referees will oversee matches in Oman and the United Arab Emirates
The International Cricket Council today announced the appointments for Round One matches and the Super 12 phase of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, comprising 20 of the best match officials from around the world.

The 16 umpires and four match referees finalised for the 45-match tournament include three umpires who will be officiating in their sixth ICC Men’s T20 World Cups - Aleem Dar, Marais Erasmus and Rod Tucker.

A 20-strong group means that for the first time since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, there will be neutral umpires for all matches of the 16-team tournament, being played in Muscat (Oman), Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Dubai (UAE) from 17 October to 14 November.

Sri Lanka’s Kumar Dharmasena, who was one of the on-field umpires for the final of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019, will be in the middle for the first match of the tournament, when Oman take on Papua New Guinea, alongside New Zealander Chris Gaffaney.

Another Sri Lankan, the vastly experienced Ranjan Madugalle, will be the match referee, with Richard Kettleborough the TV umpire and Ahsan Raza the fourth official.

Dar and Erasmus have been selected for the Super 12 clash between England and the West Indies, a rematch of the last ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final back in 2016, with Australian great David Boon the match referee for that encounter and Chris Brown, appearing in his first ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, on TV duty.

Officials have been named for the entirety of the first round and Super 12s, with the selections for the semi-finals and final of the tournament in the UAE and Oman to be named in due course.

Adrian Griffith, ICC Senior Manager – Umpires and Referees: "We are delighted to be able to call on some of the world's top officials for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup with a group of 16 umpires and four match referees.

"Our aim is always to appoint the best possible officials, and we have also been able to appoint neutral umpires and referees in all matches. We wish them all the very best, and we are confident they will ensure the smooth conduct of matches."

Match Officials at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021

Match Referees: David Boon, Jeff Crowe, Ranjan Madugalle, Javagal Srinath.

Umpires: Chris Brown, Aleem Dar, Kumar Dharmasena, Marais Erasmus, Chris Gaffaney, Michael Gough, Adrian Holdstock, Richard Illingworth, Richard Kettleborough, Nitin Menon, Ahsan Raza, Paul Reiffel, Langton Rusere, Rod Tucker, Joel Wilson, Paul Wilson.
