2024 Men's T20 World Cup knockout stage
The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup knockout stage was played between the top 4 teams from the Super 8 stage. It consisted of two semi-finals, played at Brian Lara Cricket Academy in San Fernando on 26 June and Providence Stadium in Guyana on 27 June, and the final played at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown on 29 June.[1][2]
Rules
[edit]Both Semi-finals had an additional time of 250 minutes. In Semi-final 1, 60 minutes was available on the scheduled date with another 190 minutes on the reserve day, while Semi-final 2, had 250 minutes available only on the scheduled day and had no reserve day. The final, however had a reserve day available on June 30.[2] If a reserve day came into play, the match would not be restarted but instead resumed from the previous day's play, if there was any.[2] In the event of no play on the scheduled day or the reserve day, in the semi-finals, the team that finished higher in the group stage would progress to the final, and if no play were possible in the final, the trophy would be shared.[2] If any match ended in a tie, a Super Over would be used to determine the winner. If the scores in the Super Over were also tied, subsequent Super Overs will be played until there's a winner.[2]
The match officials for the semi-finals were announced on 25 June 2024.[3]
