Venues

Mohali New Delhi Dharamshala Kolkata Nagpur Mumbai Bengaluru

The venues for the ICC World Twenty20 2016 in India

The stadiums were announced by the BCCI on July 21, 2015, and it was also determined that the final would take place in Kolkata. Chennai was initially selected as the venues with reservations, but this was ultimately not taken into account as individual stands of the stadium are closed due to legal disputes. The games in New Delhi were called into question shortly before the tournament because the city was unable to provide sufficient permits for them to be played, which were then nevertheless granted.

Controversy

Pakistan's participation and game against India

In October 2015, the Indian association refused to negotiate a tour of the Indian team against Pakistan, which was planned for December 2015 and which was to take place in the United Arab Emirates . The background to this was protests by the Shiv Sena regional party in Mumbai. In response, the Pakistani association chief Shaharyar Khan announced that if the tour did not take place, Pakistan's participation in the tournament would not be guaranteed. The tour ultimately did not take place as the Indian Association did not receive government clearance. Pakistan was drawn into the same group as India in the Super10 round draw. The game was awarded to the city of Dharamsala . It was also determined that Pakistan would not play a game in Maharashtra State , and so if they qualified for the semifinals they would play the one taking place in New Delhi. In early February, the Pakistani federation announced that the team would first need government clearance and cited security concerns. Government approval was granted on February 25th. On March 1, the Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh announced that security for the India-Pakistan game in Dharamsala could not be guaranteed. Pakistan then threatened again not to travel to the tournament, whereupon it sent a security delegation to India to assess the situation. This came to the conclusion that Dharamsala was not safe and so the game was moved to Kolkata.

New Zealand lost a total of 8 wickets and reached 153 runs. In England, Jason Roy started the retort and he scored a total of 78 runs when the Englishman's second wicket fell in the 12th over.

No further wicket fell and so the innings ended successfully after 17th overs and England qualified for the final. Jason Roy was named for the Man of the Match .
