Oman: The seventh edition of the ICC T20 World Cup is set to start in the UAE and Oman today (Oct. 17), with as many as 16 teams battling it out for the coveted prize.
The showpiece T20 event is returning after a five-year gap, with the initially planned 2020 edition being postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Originally scheduled to be held in India, the tournament was subsequently moved to the UAE and Oman. The 2021 edition will see the tournament start with an eight-team Round 1, which will be divided into two groups of four each.
