The 2012 ICC World Twenty20 will be the fourth ICC World Twenty20 competition, an international Twenty20 cricket tournament that will be held in Sri Lanka between September 18 and October 7, 2012.[2] The schedule has been posted by ICC . This will be the first World Twenty20 tournament held in an Asian country, the last three being held in South Africa, England and the West Indies respectively.The format will see four groups of three in a preliminary round. India and England are in the same group and will be joined by one of the Associate or Affiliate teams that qualify. The other qualifying team will be in a group with West Indies and Australia. Sri Lanka, South Africa and Zimbabwe, and Pakistan, New Zealand and Bangladesh are the other two groups.[3] Match fixtures were announced on 21 September 2011 by ICC.[4] On the same date, the ICC also unveiled the logo of the tournament, named "Modern Spin"[5]
Background
The 2012 World Twenty20 will be the fourth edition of the Twenty20 tournament. The first was hosted by South Africa in 2007, where India beat Pakistan in a thriller to become Twenty20 champions. Pakistan, the losing finalists in 2007, defeated Sri Lanka in the 2009 tournament to become World t20 Champions, held in England. England became the third World Twenty20 champions by beating Australia in the West Indies. The 2014 ICC World T20 is to be held in Bangladesh.[6]

Qualification

The qualification tournament, which was contested by eight teams in February 2010, was set to feature 16 sides when it would have had been held in early 2012 ahead of the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka, later that year.
Venues
All matches will be playing at the following three grounds:
| Pallekele | Colombo | Hambantota |
|---|---|---|

Rules and regulations
During the group stage and Super Eight, points are awarded to the teams as follows:
| Results | Points |
|---|---|
| Win | 2 points |
| No result | 1 point |
| Loss | 0 points |
In case of a tie (i.e. both teams score exactly the same number of runs at the end of their respective innings), a Super Over decides the winner. This is applicable in all stages of the tournament.[7]
Within each group (both group stage & Super Eight stage), teams are ranked against each other based on the following criteria:[8]
- Higher number of points
- If equal, higher number of wins
- If still equal, higher net run rate
- If still equal, lower bowling strike rate
- If still equal, result of head to head meeting.
Format
The format is the same as the 2010 edition. The format will see four groups of three in a preliminary round. Apart from the ten test cricket playing nations, there will be a further two associate/affiliate teams who would qualify from the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier to be staged in the United Arab Emirates from March 13–14, 2012.
The top two teams from each group will proceed to the Super Eight stage of the tournament. The Super Eight will consist of two groups. The top two teams from the two Super Eight groups would play the semi-finals, and the semi-final winners would contest the final, to be played at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium. The winner of this final shall be crowned world champions in Twenty20 cricket. England are the defending champions, having won the 2010 edition in the West Indies.[9]
