Teams and qualification

Main article: 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier

As of 31 December 2018, the top nine ranked ICC Full Members, along with hosts Australia, qualified directly for the 2020 tournament. Of those ten teams, the top eight ranked sides qualified for the Super 12s stage of the tournament. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh did not qualify for the Super 12s, instead being placed in the group stage of the competition. They will be joined by the six teams who qualify for the tournament via the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier. Of the teams in the ICC T20I Championship, the United Arab Emirates and Nepal can only qualify through regional competitions. The top four teams from the group stage will then advance to the Super 12s.
