The T20 World Cup 2024, co-hosted by the USA and West Indies, is now approaching the Super 8 stage. Out of 38 group stage matches, the 39th match between New Zealand and Papua New Guinea will be played today, followed by a match between West Indies and Afghanistan on June 18. However, these matches will not affect the Super 8 line-up, as the eight teams for the Super 8 have already been determined. The Super 8 round will commence on June 19. The tournament began with 20 teams, divided into four groups of five. The top two teams from each group have advanced to the Super 8.
Eight Teams Qualified for the Super 8
The eight teams qualified for the Super 8 are India, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, Afghanistan, USA, England, and Bangladesh. The group stage saw some major upsets, such as Afghanistan defeating New Zealand and the USA surprising Pakistan. Notably, former champions New Zealand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka did not make it to the Super 8, replaced by emerging strong teams like the USA and Afghanistan.
The Super 8 round will start on June 19 with a match between the USA and South Africa. The Super 8 is divided into two groups, and each team will play three matches. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the semifinals. The seeding for the Super 8 was predetermined before the tournament began. For instance, even if India finished second in their group, they would still be considered A1. The semifinals will be held on June 26 and 27, with the final taking place in Barbados on June 29.
