The 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup was the eighth edition of the Men's T20 World Cup, formerly known as the ICC World Twenty20. It was played in Australia from 16 October to 13 November 2022. In the final, England beat Pakistan by five wickets to win their second ICC Men's T20 World Cup title and draw level with the West Indies, who also won 2 ICC Men's T20 World Cup titles in both the 2012 and the 2016 editions. In winning the tournament, England also became the first team to simultaneously be the existing winners of the Cricket World Cup and the T20 World Cup. Sam Curran was named the player of the match and also the player of the tournament. It was the last edition to feature 16 team format before it was expanded to 20 teams in the next edition.
Although originally scheduled to be held in 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) postponed the tournament because of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the re-arranged tournament held in Australia in 2022. The host nation were also the defending champions.
The host cities for matches were Adelaide, Brisbane, Geelong, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. The semi-finals took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground and at the Adelaide Oval.
A series of global qualifying matches took place for the right to play in the group stage of the tournament, with the two best-placed teams from the groups entering the Super 12 stage to compete alongside the eight pre-qualified nations.
