India will be the defending champions, having beaten Pakistan in the final of the 2017 tournament. However, they will face stiff competition from the likes of Australia, England, and Pakistan, who are all ranked among the top three teams in the world.
The tournament will be played across three venues in Pakistan and the UAE: the National Stadium in Karachi, the Dubai International Stadium, and the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. All three venues are expected to be packed to capacity for the duration of the tournament.
