Resolution criteria

The 2026 T20 World Cup will take place from 7 February to 8 March 2026, with India and Sri Lanka co-hosting. This market resolves YES if India wins the tournament final. Resolution will be determined by the official ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 results, available at ICC Cricket.

Background

India defeated South Africa in the 2024 T20 World Cup final to win their second T20 World Cup title after 17 years. India has extended their winning streak at the men's T20 World Cup to 11 wins following their recent victory, and they have 16 consecutive wins at ICC limited-overs tournaments since losing to Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, the longest winning streak for a men's team. India qualified for the Super 8 stage of the 2026 T20 World Cup with a 61-run victory over Pakistan.

Considerations

As the defending champions and tournament hosts, India enters the 2026 edition with significant momentum and home advantage. However, the tournament format features 20 teams divided into four groups, with the top two from each group advancing to the Super 8 stage, followed by knockout rounds—meaning multiple strong teams (South Africa, Australia, England, Afghanistan) remain in contention.
