They will meet again in a few months for the upcoming ICC Men's T20I World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in the West Indies and the United States of America (USA). The Men in Blue find themselves in Group A alongside Pakistan, Canada, Ireland, and tournament co-host, the USA. The arch-rivals are set to face off in a high-voltage fixture in New York on June 9.
