Bangladesh were set to take on Scotland in the tournament opener on October 3 but the event was shifted to UAE earlier this month after political unrest hit the South Asian country.

The groups for the tournament which features 10 teams remain the same but the Bangladeshi venues have been replaced by Sharjah and Dubai. The two cities will host the entire 23-match tournament.

The October 3 tournament opener between Bangladesh and Scotland will now take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium instead of the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. The Dhaka stadium was also the venue of the October 20 final which will now take place in Dubai.
