The ICC has arranged for video coverage of pre-match and post-match media conferences (to be conducted through online video conferencing) as well as transcripts of post-match media conferences, all of which will be available on the OMZ shortly after they have been conducted.

A Media Guide with details about the WTC, the two teams, match officials and other information will be added in the OMZ Resources section on 15 June. The Resources section will also have other important reference documents like an FAQs document and Stats Packs.
