T20 World Cup 2024 Warm up matches: Live streaming, full schedule, match date and time

NEW DELHI: Leading up to the T20 World Cup starting on June 1, a series of 16 warm-up matches are scheduled to prepare the participating teams for the main event. With the unusual timing of the Indian Premier League's conclusion just six days before the World Cup begins, teams have had limited opportunities for bilateral series.

Notably, England, Pakistan, and New Zealand have opted out of the warm-up matches. England and Pakistan are currently engaged in a four-match T20I series until May 30, while New Zealand has chosen to forgo warm-up games entirely.


India will face Bangladesh on June 1, and the hosts, West Indies, will play only one warm-up match.

Interestingly, South Africa has decided on an intra-squad encounter for their preparation. Warm-up matches will be held at three venues: Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, and two venues in the US, namely Dallas and Florida.

The clash between India and Bangladesh will be held in New York, where the arch-rivals India and Pakistan are set to face off on June 9.
