T20 World Cup 2022: Complete India schedule, match dates & timings in IST
Team India are among the favorites to win the upcoming 2022 T20 World Cup, which will be held in Australia from October 16 to November 13. The Men in Blue have been in imperious form in the shortest format over the course of the last few months. They are on the lookout to win their second T20 World Cup title.
Rohit Sharma and Co. have been drawn alongside arch-rivals Pakistan, South Africa, and Bangladesh in Group 2 of the Super 12 stage of the competition. They will be joined by two more teams following the culmination of the preliminary qualification round.
The runner-up from Group A and the winner of Group B of the qualifiers will be placed in Group 2 to forge six members. Out of those, two will qualify for the semi-finals.
The Men in Blue will begin the tournament with a clash against Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on October 23. The iconic stadium is the only venue where India will compete twice during the group stage. Sydney, Adelaide and Perth are scheduled to host the remainder of the matches.
All of Team India's matches at the 2022 T20 World Cup will be contested during the timeframe between 6pm-7pm local time.
However, time will vary slightly for the Indian audience since Australia boasts three different time zones. The contest against South Africa in Perth is slated to start at 4:30 pm IST, with the coastal city located on the western side of the country.
With the rest of the matches taking place in the eastern part of the country, the timings vary from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm IST.
