The group matches of the T20 World Cup 2024 are coming to an end and, so far, six teams have been finalised for the Super 8 of the tournament which will begin on June 19 in Antigua and Barbuda.
India, Australia, South Africa, West Indies and Afghanistan are the five teams to have a 100% win record in the T20 World Cup so far and thus, these five sides made their way to the tournament’s Super 8 without any troubles.
The United States (USA) became the latest team to join them in the Super 8 after their match against Ireland in Florida was called off due to rain and ultimately Pakistan were knocked out of the tournament as they had a poor start which costed them big time.
As of now, India (A1), Australia (B2), and Afghanistan (C1) in Group 1, and USA (A2), West Indies (C2) and South Africa (D1) in Group 2 are confirmed for the Super 8.
Scotland/England and Bangladesh are the front-runners for the other two spots up for grabs in the last eight.
Bangladesh have four points after three matches and a win in their next match against Nepal would take them to the Super 8. Meanwhile, England’s path is a bit difficult as not only do they have to beat Namibia in their last match, they also need Australia beating Scotland and then they would qualify due to a better Net Run Rate (NRR).
The first match of the Super 8 will now be played between South Africa and the USA in Antigua and Barbuda on June 19. Meanwhile, West Indies will play the second qualifying team from Group B (Scotland or England) in St Lucia.
India and Afghanistan will play each other in their first match of Super 8 in Barbados while Australia will play the second team qualifying from Group D (Bangladesh or the Netherlands) in Antigua.
