The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up matches kick off on 27 May, setting the stage for the main tournament that begins on 1 June. This year’s event is the largest of its kind, featuring 20 teams from around the world competing for the coveted title. Over the span of five days, a total of 16 warm-up matches will be played at four distinct venues: Dallas, Tarouba, Lauderhill, and Port of Spain.

These fixtures are designed to help teams acclimate to the conditions and fine-tune their strategies before the intense competition begins. However, Pakistan has opted out of these warm-up games, confident in their preparation after playing nine T20Is recently.

The warm-up matches are structured as 20-over contests per side but will not carry official international T20 status. This allows teams the flexibility to field all 15 members of their squad, providing an opportunity to assess each player’s form and fitness comprehensively. The venues—Dallas, Tarouba, Lauderhill, and Port of Spain—will host these crucial practice games, offering diverse playing conditions that teams can leverage to refine their tactics.
