Both Nepal and Oman qualified for the 2024 T20 World Cup
Nepal and Oman secured their place in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 after they reached the final of the Asia qualifiers held in Nepal on Friday. The host beat the United Arab Emirates by eight wickets in the semifinal, while Oman defeated Bahrain by 10 wickets.
While it will be Nepal's maiden World Cup appearance in the tournament, which is going to be held in the United States of America and the West Indies next year, it is also the first time Oman will be featured in the tournament beyond the preliminary stage.
The upcoming edition, the ninth of the tournament since 2007, will host 20 teams for the first time. The teams will be separated into five teams of four groups, with the top two from each group qualifying for the Super 8s.
A total of 18 teams have secured qualification for the tournament so far. The last two spots will be decided by the Africa Qualifiers, which are going to be held from November 22 to 30 in Namibia.
Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Guyana, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago will host games, along with three venues in the USA: Dallas, Florida, and New York. The final of the 2024 T20 World Cup is slated for June 30, 2024.
