List of T20Is India will play before the 2024 T20 World Cup

Team India had a brilliant 2023 ODI World Cup campaign at home, winning 10 matches on the trot. They triumphed in all their nine league clashes and then thumped New Zealand in the first semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to reach the final.

Having clinched their berth in the summit clash without losing a game, most experts and fans touted the Men in Blue as favorites to lift the 2023 World Cup trophy. However, Australia came up with a clinical effort to beat the hosts in the final by six wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

India have since shifted their focus to the 2024 T20 World Cup, which will be played in the United States and the West Indies from June 4 to June 30. The Men in Blue will play only a handful of T20I matches before the mega event, although most of the Indian players will be part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
