The month of June has started and throughout this month, cricket fans will have only one name on their lips - T20 World Cup. The tournament is going to start from Sunday, June 2 and for the first time a World Cup will be played on American soil. Like every World Cup, this time too Team India is being considered a big contender. Also, the India-Pakistan match is awaited, which is going to be held in New York, where many people of Indian and Pakistani origin already live. Now since the tournament is in America and West Indies, there is bound to be a time difference, so you will get complete information here about which day, time and which team the Indian team will play against.

First of all understand this thing

Before knowing the schedule of Team India, it is important to understand some important things. This time it will start with the group stage in which Team India is in Group-A. After this, 2-2 teams from all 4 groups will go to the Super-8 round. Then from here onwards there will be semi-finals and then finals. The most important thing is that this time the 'seeding' has already been done by the ICC for the World Cup. That is, who will be considered the first team in a group and who will be the second, it is already decided, no matter who is at the first or second position in the group stage. On this basis, the groups of Super-8 will be decided.

Understand it like this. Team India and Pakistan are in Group A. ICC has given A-1 seed to Team India and A-2 to Pakistan. Now if Pakistan gets the first place with the highest number of points in the group round and Team India gets the second place, still in the Super-8 round, Team India will be considered A-1 and Pakistan will be considered A-2. On this basis, India will be in Group-1 of Super-8 and Pakistan will be in Group-2. Similarly, the seeding of teams in Group-B, C and D is already decided and on that basis they will make their place in the Super-8 group.

semi-final is already decided

Whether Team India will play the semi-finals or not will depend on its performance in the tournament. If Team India qualifies for the semi-finals, then it is already decided whether it will play the first semi-final or the second. Yes, if Team India reaches the semi-finals, then it will play the second semi-final, whether it is first or second in its group of Super-8. This match will be played in Guyana on 27 June.
