Men’s T20 World Cup 2024: team-by-team guide to the tournament

From the first-timers of the USA and Canada to the Bangladesh player who has featured at every edition, here are the prospects

www.theguardian.com

I would imagine we won't be seeing monster scores if the Caribbean wickets are still low and slow. Although they are diddy grounds by and large so there could be some high totals. England, if they recover their mojo, has a good a chance as anyone, but never discount New Zealand, as they always are, to provide a shock.

Might have a flutter on England.

Absolutely cruising at the moment.

I can see some big scores in the tournament. The grounds are only small for the most part.

The US wickets will probably be batters paradise. Generally these temporary wickets are hard and true.

Except they were the first to hold an international cricket match in 1844 … albeit most of the two sides were made up of Brits.


Anyhow, my money is on the West Indies to win it. Home advantage and cricket needs a strong and vibrant WI

What a pitiful crowd at Guyana for the Windies opener.

I absolutely love the Caribbean, it's a must visit holiday for me every January but the level of apathy for the competition shown in Guyana causes you to question whether the Windies should have had the honour of co hosting
