This is the fifth edition of the tournament, and the fourth time that the men’s and women’s competitions will be played alongside each other, with the women’s semi-finals and final held on the same day and at the same venue as the men’s. Staged between 16 March and 6 April, we will see 62 tournament matches (35 men’s and 27 women’s), involving 26 teams, played across Chittagong, Dhaka and Sylhet. The format of the men’s event has been changed following an increase in teams from 12 to 16, six of which qualified through a global pathway that culminated in the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier UAE 2013. This year’s format will see Zimbabwe and Bangladesh participate in the first round of the tournament alongside the six qualifiers, from 16 to 21 March. The top two teams from the first round will join the remaining eight Full Member teams in the Super Ten stage, followed by the semi-finals and final. The ICC Women’s World Twenty20 2014 has been increased from eight to 10 teams, with three teams advancing from the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 Qualifier Ireland 2013, and Bangladesh, as host, making its debut at the event.
