The T20 World Cup is currently being co-hosted by the USA and the West Indies, with matches running from June 2-29. Sky Sports is broadcasting every match of the Men’s T20 World Cup, and the tournament began with a match between the USA and Canada. In this opening game, Canada set a target of 195 for the USA to chase after half-centuries from Navneet Dhaliwal and Nicholas Kirton.
Despite this challenge, the USA emerged victorious thanks to Aaron Jones’ unbeaten 94 from just 40 balls. This was their highest-ever run chase in T20 cricket, bringing new interest to the sport in the United States. Cricket has a long history in North America, dating back to when it was first played between England and New York City in 1844. However, it lost popularity to baseball in the late 19th century.
The International Cricket Council has chosen to split the T20 World Cup between these two regions as part of its efforts to attract a new and potentially lucrative audience to cricket. Sky Sports is committed to bringing all games live on air, including England’s upcoming matches against Scotland in Barbados and India in New York City. Fans can stream Sky Sports live with a monthly or daily membership on NOW.
England is currently defending champions after winning the tournament in Australia in 2022. With cricket set to be included in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, there has never been a better time for fans around the world to tune into this exciting event!
