As per reports, there will be five Indian cities and three Sri Lankan cities that will host the tournament in February. The marquee event will be exciting and exhausting at the same time due to the number of games that will be played.

The teams will look to give their best, especially the ones who played the qualifiers to reach the tournament. Nepal, Oman, and Italy will mark their presence on the world stage, and hence, all eyes will be on them throughout the tournament.

As per reports, the finals are set to be at the biggest cricket stadium in the world, Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. An official confirmation regarding the same is awaited.

What Are Group Dynamics in T20 World Cup 2026?

The group allocations for the T20 World Cup 2026 was decided by the International Cricket Council (ICC) before the start of the tournament. Hosts India and Sri Lanka are placed in two different groups. India have Pakistan, Netherlands, Namibia, and the USA in their group. This looks like an easier set-up for both Pakistan and India to qualify for the next stage.

Next, Sri Lanka is paired with Australia, Zimbabwe, Ireland, and Oman. Another group in which England are there consists of West Indies, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Italy. The last group has South Africa, New Zealand, Afghanistan, UAE, and Canada.

ICC has divided the groups according to their rankings and has tried to strike a balance as well. Since India and Pakistan are in the same group and the arch rivals don't have a good relations in terms of visiting each other's countries, it will be interesting to see where will their game be scheduled. Moreover, if Pakistan qualify for the final, the venue will shift from Ahmedabad to Sri Lanka. These events will make the tournament extra special and the fans should keep an eye on the schedule release as well.
