The 20 teams participating in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 will have the opportunity to gear up for the main competition with a series of warm-up matches. A total of 16 warm-up matches are set to take place starting from May 27, before the main matches begin on June 2nd.
Most of the teams will play two warm-up matches before the main competition. However, India will only play just one warm-up game ahead of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, facing Bangladesh at the newly built modular stadium in Nassau County, New York, on June 1.
