Cricket News: ICC T20 World Cup 2022 Qualifier Zimbabwe: Schedule & Where To Watch | T20 World Cup Qualifier 2022 schedule & details
The International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifiers B will take place at Zimbabwe from 11th July-17th July. Eight teams including the hosts will participate in the competition and two will make their way to Australia for the World T20 later this year.
The other seven teams include Jersey, Papua New Guinea (PNG), USA, Uganda, Singapore, Hong Kong and Netherlands. Netherlands and PNG come into this competition on the basis of their finishing position in the Round 1 of the T20 World Cup that was held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2021.
Similarly, Singapore and Zimbabwe walk into this competition due to their rankings in the ICC Men’s T20 Team Rankings. USA, Uganda, Jersey and Hong Kong have warded off competition from their regional competitors and will now be aiming to finish in the top-two in the forthcoming Qualifier B. There will be 20 matches including the playoffs and the finals in the tournament.
