Team India’s final group stage match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 against Canada on 15 June in Lauderhill was abandoned without a ball being bowled, due to a wet outfield.

Consequently, the men in blue, who had already secured their place in the Super 8 stage after defeating the USA on Wednesday (12 June), finished at the top of the Group A points table. Co-hosts USA secured second position, while Canada replaced Pakistan in third place.

India are now placed in Group 1 for the Super 8 stage of the tournament. 

Super 8 Groups

The Super 8 stage is divided into two groups, Group 1 and Group 2, each consisting of four teams that qualified from the initial group stage.

• Group 1 will consist of India, Australia, Afghanistan, and any one of Bangladesh and the Netherlands. Notably, Bangladesh's chances are more promising than that of the Dutch.

• Group 2 will consist of the USA, South Africa, West Indies, and either England or Scotland.

• It should be noted that eight teams were already seeded, and their Super 8 groups were not dependent on their finishing position in the initial stage. India, for instance, was seeded as A1, and would have hence featured in Group 2 of the Super 8 even if they finished second in their group-stage campaign.

Notably, the top teams from each of the two Super 8 groups will advance to the semi-finals.

Which Teams Have Qualified?

India, USA, Australia, Afghanistan, West Indies, and South Africa have all secured their places in the Super 8 stage of the 2024 T20 World Cup. The remaining two spots will be filled by either England or Scotland from Group B and either Bangladesh or the Netherlands from Group D.
