Overview

  • The DY Patil Stadium will stage three group games, the second semi-final on October 30 and could host the November 2 final.
  • The tournament window remains September 30 to November 2 under the revised ICC schedule.
  • India vs Sri Lanka on September 30 has been reassigned to Guwahati to open the event.
  • Pakistan’s fixtures stay in Colombo under the hybrid model, with any Pakistan semi-final or the final also set for Colombo.
  • Bengaluru was dropped after the D’Cunha Commission labeled Chinnaswamy unsafe following June’s stampede and the KSCA failed to obtain police clearances by the BCCI’s August 10 deadline.
