About the event

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup is the shortest and most explosive form of international cricket's world championship, packing big hitting and huge crowds into three-hour matches. It has spread the game to new audiences and produced some of cricket's most dramatic finishes. India, England and West Indies have each won it twice. The 2028 tournament is hosted by Australia.

Ticket availability and entry conditions should be confirmed through the organizer before purchase.
