Here's how to watch the T20 World Cup 2022 online from anywhere in the world, with the event now underway.

The cricket tournament, which runs until November 13, features 16 teams battling it out to be crowned the best Twenty20 side on the planet.

The 16 teams are Australia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, England, India, Namibia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Scotland, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Ireland, UAE, Netherlands and Zimbabwe.

The reigning champions are Australia and they have a serious chance of winning the competition again especially as it's being held in Australia.

The betting market reckons either Australia, India or England will win the tournament. But the great thing about T20 cricket is it's so unpredictable and therefore it's hard to rule anyone out. OK, the UAE is 2,000 to 1 with one bookie, but you never know!

How does the T20 World Cup 2022 format work?

Eight teams play in the qualifying stage. Group A is Sri Lanka, Namibia, UAE and Netherlands. Group B is West Indies, Scotland, Zimbabwe and Ireland. Two teams qualify from each group and go through to the Super 12 format where they’re meet sides who’ve qualified by virtue of their previous performance. Again there’s two groups and the top two in each group will go through to the semi-finals. Cricket just loves a complicated format!
