USA
Being the Co-hosts, USA have made their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup debut in this edition. They announced their arrival in style as they beat neighbours Canada by seven wickets while chasing 195 to win in the tournament opener at Texas on June 2 (IST).
It is amazing how after playing their first T20I in only 2021, the USA have travelled so fast that they beat Ireland and Bangladesh on their way to the T20 World Cup 2024. They are expected to put up a great showing against big guns like India and Pakistan.

Uganda
The newest kid on the block of African cricket, Uganda was the most difficult and surreal qualification to the biggest stage in the smallest and most popular format of cricket.
The Cranes as they are called beat a Test-playing member of the ICC, Zimbabwe during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier and finished second behind Namibia to make it to their first-ever World Cup.
