England, Australia, Namibia, Scotland, and Oman are in Group B.
We have New Zealand, the West Indies, Afghanistan, Uganda, and Papua New Guinea in Group C.
Group D: Nepal, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and Bangladesh
Twenty teams that qualified have been split into four groups of five. The top two teams in each group will move on to the Super eight round.
At that point, the qualified teams will be split into two groups of four again. The top two teams will move on to the semi-finals, and the winners will play in the final.
Since 2010, when England won the T20 World Cup, this is the first time that it has been held in the West Indies.
This is the first time that the US will host an event as big as the World Cup, though.
England is the current winner because they beat Pakistan in the final to win the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia.
