Re. scheduled days
[edit]@Lugnuts: I don't get why we "always put the scheduled days" or why we should keep doing so. The scheduled length of the games is already given in the infobox (4 days, as most other FC competitions) and with the start date readers can put the dots together and figure how long the game would have been scheduled to last. I don't think giving our readers the false impression the match lasted 4 days when it didn't is helpful. Even the format used for Tests, ex. Pakistani_cricket_team_in_England_in_2020#1st_Test, is debatable, although at least there no information is lost. I don't think there's anything in the MOS about multi-day sporting events (though, stuff such as the Olympics or tennis tournaments are usually dated from the first day to the last day; and although delays there are less likely, when they do happen, the end-date is usually given as it happened, for ex. 2001 Wimbledon Championships - source for delay). Also noting that appears to be what Cricinfo does (except for the off-by-one error for the start date, but that seems to be some form of recent bug). Also the same if you look at the BBC page currently: [1] - the game that ended today is reported as being from "29 APR - 1 MAY" while the others are "29 APR - 2 MAY"...
