The cricket carnival, in which 16 teams will compete, is divided into three stages named Round 1, The Super 12 stage, and knockouts which include the semi-final and the final.

In the first round [Round 1], eight teams will be competing in two groups and the top two from each of the groups will move to the Super 12 stage.

Later, the top team from Group A and the second seed from Group B advance to Group 1 of the Super 12s, with the top seed from Group B and the second seed from Group A going into Group 2.

Likewise, the Super 12 stage is also divided into two groups featuring six teams. The top two teams from each group will progress to the final stage.

Meanwhile, the neighboring arch-rivals Pakistan and India will face each other in Dubai on October 24 in one of the biggest clashes of the event.

Men in Green have won their last Twenty20 cup in the UAE in 2009 while Pakistani skipper Babar Azam is optimistic to slam India saying their familiarity with the UAE pitches will help them break the jinx.

On the other hand, India’s Virat Kohli played down the famous rivalry, stating the match with Shaheens as ‘just another game’. “I have always approached this game as just another game of cricket. I know there is a lot of hype created around this game more so with ticket sales and the demands for tickets”, he said.

Meanwhile, the winner will share part of the $US5.6m allocated as prize money for the mega event. The winning team will receive $1.6m, with the runners up receiving $800,000 while both losing semi-finalists will receive $0.4 million.
