Team Participation in T20 World Cup:
Twenty teams are set to compete, divided into four groups of five. Newcomers like Canada and Uganda will join seasoned teams like India, Pakistan, Australia, and England. The top two teams from each group will advance to the Super 8 stage, which will further narrow down the contenders for the semi-finals and final.
T20 World Cup Matches Rules and Innovations
Super Over Decisions:
In the event of a tie, matches will be decided by a Super Over. If the Super Over also ends in a tie, additional Super Overs will be played until a winner emerges. An extra hour is allotted to ensure the completion of these Super Overs.
Rain Interruptions:
Matches require a minimum of 5 overs per side to constitute a result in the group stages and Super 8. For the semi-finals and finals, at least 10 overs per side are needed. If weather disrupts play, reserve days are in place for the semi-finals but not for the final, which will have an extended time allowance to ensure completion on the scheduled day.

Innovative Rule: Stop Clock:
A new “Stop Clock” rule aims to speed up the game. Teams have only 60 seconds to start a new one after the previous one ends. Failure to comply results in warnings and repeated delays will incur a 5-run penalty.
