Following the format of last year’s competition, the top two teams from each group will advance to the Super Four stage of the tournament.
However, the mega event’s fate remains uncertain because the BCCI has refused to send the Men in Blue to Pakistan for security reasons and prefers to hold the event in a neutral location.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
