ICC CWC Challenge B: Full schedule, squads, match timings, and live-streaming details
The first leg of the ICC CWC Challenge B is set to take place from November 6 to 16. The Uganda Cricket Association will host the games at two venues — Lugogo Stadium in Kampala and Entebbe Cricket Oval in Entebbe.
Six teams — Hong Kong, Uganda, Italy, Singapore, Tanzania, and Bahrain — will contest against each other across 15 games. The tournament will be played in a single round-robin format, where every team plays the other teams once.
The ICC CWC Challenge B forms a qualification pathway for the 2027 ODI World Cup. Every team from League A and League B will play 15 matches each, which accounts for a total of 90 matches, from 2024-26. In the end, the top two teams will qualify for the 2027 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off. They will then contest against the bottom four teams from League 2 and the top two teams from Challenge A.
On that note, let's take a look at the full schedule, squads, and live-streaming details of the tournament.
