Sri Lanka (Winner-2014)
Sri Lanka became the champion by defeating India in the final of the 2014 T20 World Cup. Earlier, they were runners-up in 2012. Sri Lanka is one of the most prominent teams. This year, the captain of the Sri Lankan T20 World Cup team will be Wanindu Hasaranga. Apart from Hasaranga, players like Kusal Mendis, Mathisha Pathirana and Nuwan Tushara will be in focus in the team.
South Africa
The South African team has reached the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup in 2009 and 2014, but could never go beyond that. In this World Cup, South Africa, under the leadership of Aiden Markram, will want to break this spell. The team will have high expectations from Markram along with Quinton de Kock, Anrich Nortje, Tristan Stubbs and Heinrich Klaasen.
Bangladesh
There are many young talents in the Bangladesh team for the T20 World Cup. We have seen some players playing in this IPL tournament and looking at their performance, it seems that they are ready for this World Cup tournament. The team will be led by Nazmul Hussain Shanto. Bangladesh has won only nine out of the 38 matches played so far in the T20 World Cup.
Netherlands
The Netherlands team is going to participate in the T20 World Cup for the sixth time. In recent months, the team has not been able to do anything special in this format. But under the captaincy of Scott Edwards, he will try his best to do better in this World Cup, as the team has outwitted the opposing teams on many occasions.
Nepal
Nepal will play the T20 World Cup after 10 years. Now the team will participate in the big competition for the second time. This year, Rohit Paudel will lead the Nepal cricket team in the T20 World Cup tournament 2024. The tournament will begin on June 2, 2024 with the first match between the United States and Canada.
