This article is about the T20I World Cup, one of the most watched cricket World Cups organized by ICC held biennially since 2007 along with the ODI World Cup which is being held since 1975. Although so far none is FA now (ODI WC was FA since 2007, but it was demoted 2 years ago). Now I want to make this an exemplary one for cricket tournaments...

There are lots of references in the lead. These are not needed if the facts are cited in the body (which I presume they are.....?)

" It is held every 2 years since its inauguration in 2007" => " It has been held every two years since its inauguration in 2007"
"with the exception of 2011, 2018 and 2020" - this doesn't make sense, because the last two of those years are not a multiple of two years from 2007
I did some re-wording to it. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 16:56, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
New version is not grammatically correct. "It was held on every odd year from 2007 to 2009, and then on it has been held on every even year " => "It was held in every odd year from 2007 to 2009, and since then it has been held in every even year " -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:14, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"The 2011 edition of the tournament was preponed" - "preponed" is a very obscure word (I had never seen it before and had to consult a dictionary to confirm that it actually existed). I would suggest "The 2011 edition of the tournament was brought forward"
I have heard the word "prepone" times before, it's actually in Cambridge dictionary, Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com. It means to do something at an earlier time than was planned or is usual. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 16:26, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that, but as I mentioned, it's an incredibly obscure word. I had literally never seen/heard it in my life before today. I think a less obscure word would make things easier for readers, 90% of whom I believe will not be familiar with this word either -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:10, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"to 2010 due to its replacement with the ICC Champions Trophy 2010" - the 2011 event was moved to 2010 because it was replaced with a different event also happening in 2010? I don't understand this.....
Done: It was supposed to mean, "the 2011 event was moved to 2010, to replace another event" Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 16:56, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"was caused after the 5th Edition" - no reason for capital E, "edition" is not a proper noun
"Champions Trophy, scheduled to be hosted by Pakistan in 2008 was delayed" => "Champions Trophy, scheduled to be hosted by Pakistan in 2008, was delayed"
"busied with bilateral commitments in 2018." - what are "bilateral commitments"?
Clarified it now. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 16:56, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It now says "bilateral cricket events". What is a bilateral cricket event (as opposed to any other type of cricket event).....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:16, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tour matches between two nations (home and visitor); while Tri-nation series are played between three nations and others tournaments would feature at least five teams. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 02:55, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"taking place 5 years after" => "taking place five years after"
"Three teams, West Indies (2012, 2016), England (2010, 2022) and India (2007, 2024) have won" => "Three teams, West Indies (2012, 2016), England (2010, 2022) and India (2007, 2024), have won"
That's what I got just on the lead. I'll come back and take a look at the body later..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:16, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude: all else done so far. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 16:56, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More comments

"sought another one-day competition to fill with the younger generation" - "to fill with the younger generation" doesn't make sense in English. I would suggest "to appeal to the younger generation"
"proposed a 20-over per innings game" - wikilink over and innings
"Soon after with the adoption of Twenty20 matches by other cricket boards, " => "Soon after, with the adoption of Twenty20 matches by other cricket boards, "
"and Stanford 20/20 tournament" => "and the Stanford 20/20 tournament"
"and the financial incentive in the format." - what was this financial incentive?
It refers to getting more sponsorships etc. as opposed to the longer formats. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 07:15, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"The West Indies regional teams competed in what was named the Stanford 20/20 tournament" - no need to relink the tournament, as you linked it in literally the previous sentence
"before he was convicted of fraud for a massive Ponzi scheme" - can you link "Ponzi scheme"? I for one have absolutely no idea what this term means
Thinking about it, do we really need that level of detail on the Stanford stuff? I feel like the whole of the second paragraph under "Domestic tournaments" could be condensed into a single sentence essentially saying "T20 tournaments were also created in other countries"
I have now removed the additional content about Stanford 20/20. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 07:15, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"showed him a mock Penalty card" - no reason for capital P on penalty
"in which case it will be held the year before" => "in which case it would be held the year before"
"The 2010 World Twenty20 tournament, which was brought forward from 2011 to replace the ICC Champions Trophy was held in West Indies" => "The 2010 World Twenty20 tournament, which was brought forward from 2011 to replace the ICC Champions Trophy, was held "
In that same sentence, it should be "held in the West Indies"
", where England defeated Australia by 7 wickets" - in the final, presumably?
"The 2012 World Twenty20 was won by the West-Indies" - there is no hyphen in West Indies
"The 2012 edition was to be expanded into a 16 team format however this was reverted to 12" => "The 2012 edition was to be expanded into a 16-team format, however this was reverted to 12"
"The 2014 tournament, held in Bangladesh was the first" => "The 2014 tournament, held in Bangladesh, was the first"
"However the top eight full member teams in the Men's T20I Team rankings on 8 October 2012 were given a place in the Super 10 stage" - no need for the word "however" here
"but was later dropped" => "but this was later dropped"
"With Australian international travel restrictions not expected to be lifted until 2021" - if the tournament was scheduled for 2021 anyway, why would this prevent it being in Australia?
@ChrisTheDude: it was before the tournament was postponed, given the re-opening of Australian travel restrictions were unsure, they rellocated the tournament to India. I also made a little change to the sentence, see if it makes sense now... Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 07:15, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"although India (via BCCI) " - write the name in full
"as well as the 2030 tournament in England, Ireland and Scotland following" => "and the 2030 tournament in England, Ireland and Scotland following"
Back for more later..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:50, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even more comments

"India won the hosting rights of 2021 edition" => "India won the hosting rights of the 2021 edition"
"but due to COVID-19 pandemic" => "but due to the COVID-19 pandemic"
"the 2030 edition is to be co-hosted by United Kingdom, Ireland and Scotland" - firstly, it should be the United Kingdom, secondly this does not make sense as written because Scotland is part of the United Kingdom, so you can't say "the United Kingdom and Scotland". It would be like saying "the event will be hosted by India and Gujarat"
@ChrisTheDude: It was supposed to be: "England, Ireland and Scotland" which I have changed now. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 10:37, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"and has been retained until 2022" => "and was retained until 2022"
"The number of teams qualifying through the World Twenty20 Qualifier had varied" => "The number of teams qualifying through the World Twenty20 Qualifier varied"
"The Preliminary stage or group stage" - no reason for capital P
I don't understand the chronology of the manufacture of the trophy. You say "It was designed and manufactured by Links of London,", but then you list three different manufacturers, of which Links were the second.....
England players image caption is not a sentence so should not have a full stop
Ref for 2024 attendance is not correctly formatted
It was just added a while ago, already fixed it. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 10:37, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"As of the 2024 tournament, Twenty-four nations" - no reason for capital T
"is the Super 8 appearance by United States" => "is the Super 8 appearance by the United States"
"while the least result by a Test playing nation" => "while the worst result by a Test playing nation"
"No teams have yet won the tournament as hosts, best performance by a host nation" => "No teams have yet won the tournament as hosts; the best performance by a host nation"
"No title winners have yet defended their title in the following edition, best performance" => "No title winners have yet defended their title in the following edition; the best performance"
"who made their debuts in 2009 and 2010 editions" => "who made their debuts in the2009 and 2010 editions"
"while, MS Dhoni holds the record" => ", while MS Dhoni holds the record" (the comma should be before "while" not after)
"while, Simon Taufel has" - same here
"while, Chris Gayle of West Indies holds" - and here
"while, Fazalhaq Farooqi of Afghanistan " - and here
"while, Marlon Samuels holds" - and here
Fixed the commas, will do the rest soon. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 10:37, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Pat Cummins is the only player to have taken more than one hat-tricks " => "Pat Cummins is the only player to have taken more than one hat-trick"
"Former Indian captain Virat Kohli has scored the most runs (1,292), highest average (58.72) and Most 50+ scores (15) in the T20 World Cup." - no reason for capital M on the second "most"
"Winning Captain" - no reason for capital C, "captain" is not a proper noun -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:22, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Former West Indies' captain Daren Sammy" - no reason for apostrophe on West Indies
