The T20 World Cup 2024 is heating up, with five teams already securing their spots in the Super 8 stage. India, Australia, Afghanistan, West Indies, and South Africa have emerged as the frontrunners, leaving three spots up for grabs.

Group 1 of the Super 8 stage features India, Australia, and Afghanistan. India, the defending champions, will be looking to continue their dominance, while Australia, the former champions, will be eager to reclaim their title. Afghanistan, the surprise package of the tournament, will be aiming to make a deep run.

Group 2 consists of West Indies and South Africa. West Indies, the two-time champions, will be hoping to regain their glory days, while South Africa, the perennial underachievers, will be determined to break their World Cup jinx.

The remaining three spots in the Super 8 stage will be filled by the top teams from Groups A, C, and D. USA, England, and Bangladesh are the favorites to qualify from their respective groups, but other teams like Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and New Zealand are still in contention.

The first round of the tournament concludes on June 17, with the Super 8 stage commencing on June 19. The opening match of the Super 8 round will see South Africa take on the second qualifier from Group A in Antigua.

All teams will start the Super 8 stage on an equal footing, with no points or net run-rate advantage carried forward from the first round. The top two teams from each Super 8 group will advance to the semi-finals, which will be held on June 26 and 27.

The final of the T20 World Cup 2024 is scheduled for June 29 in Barbados. With a thrilling Super 8 stage and a highly anticipated final, the tournament promises to deliver non-stop excitement and unforgettable moments.
