The ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024is witnessing a historic feat as it is the first time in this tournament that nine associate nations are participating on the biggest stage.

While established teams like Australia, England, India, West Indies, etc. have historically dominated the ICC competitions, a new generation of talent has swept the T20 World Cup.

From rising stars, big guns firing, and blockbuster clashes to Super Overs, and wild upsets - the associate nations have managed to steal the show.

While the involvement of associate nations' involvement in ICC events is an important milestone, it also demonstrates the level of competition that is growing rapidly in the competitive T20 cricket landscape.

In this article, let's take a closer look at some of these teams who are defying expectations and pushing boundaries with their performances.

Netherlands:

The Netherlands has been one of the most consistent associate nations’ teams. For the unversed, they were the only associate nation that played in the 2023 ODI World Cup. From there on, they have carried their amazing form in the shortest format of the game and have made it to this year's World Cup also.

The Netherlands are among the most well-balanced sides in the competition, thanks to a batting lineup that includes Colin Ackermann at the top and bowlers like Aryan Dutt and Brandon Glover.

Ireland players have consistently outperformed the established countries in the competition with their outstanding performances. Even though they haven't yet won the trophy, they have pulled off several noteworthy upsets. Their fierce hitting style and enthusiastic gaming make them a formidable opponent in the game

United States Of America:

The USA has had an amazing story to tell in the ongoing T20I World Cup 2024. With a strong batting line-up featuring youngsters like Sushant Singh, experienced campaigners like Steven Taylor and bowlers like Ali Khan and Adil Desai, the USA team has been a revelation in the ongoing World Cup. 

Nepal:

The young players on the Nepal cricket team are bold in their approach. With their best-ever T20I score of 314/3, Nepal has been on the rise in the T20 format. The team has been competitive in regional qualifying, but they haven't advanced to the World Cup knockout stages yet.

Oman:

Oman's team is a perfect balance of experienced players from the World Cup 2021 and some exciting youngsters. Oman earned their spot in the ongoing T20I World Cup 2024, riding on some spectacular performances in the recent past.
