The fifth edition of ICC World Twenty20 is scheduled to take place in Bangladesh from 16 March to 6 April 2014. It will be played in three cities — Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet. Bangladesh will host the tournament as announced by the International Cricket Council in 2010. It will be second and consecutive time that an Asian country will host this event, as Sri Lanka hosted the previous tournament in 2012.
For the first time the tournament will have 16 teams including all ten full members and six associate members who qualified through the 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier. The top eight (full member) teams in the ICC T20I Championship rankings on 8 October 2012 enter the Super 10 stage. The remaining eight teams compete in the group stage, from which two teams advance to the Super 10 stage.
