Colombo: The ICC has announced the match schedule and also unveiled the event logo of the tournament which will be staged from 18 September to 7 October next year.
ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat said: “The ICC World Twenty20 has become a marquee event. I am pretty confident that Sri Lanka has got the experience to deliver another world-class event. The culture and diversity that comes with Sri Lanka is superb. I know it is a very popular destination for many tourists which convinces me that next year, you will see many foreign people coming to witness this tournament,”
If everything goes according to pre-tournament seedings then Pakistan and India will lock horns in a Super Eight match in Colombo on Sunday, 30 September.
Mr. Lorgat further said: “Whenever India plays Pakistan, all the fans become very attentive. People start watching with great interest. If it works according to those seedings, then that match will be a great reminder of the fine final in the inaugural event in Johannesburg.”
