In 2024, the United States of America (USA) and the Caribbean Islands will host the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

A photo from a New York Times story about the India vs. Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 match went viral on social media. The story described the match as high-stakes, but it utilized NBA-style scorelines to imply that India won, “119-113.” Interestingly, India scored 119 runs before restricting Pakistan to 113.
