The T20 World Cup 2024 Super Eight stage is reaching its climax, with two crucial matches remaining in Group 2. England, West Indies, South Africa, and USA are all vying for the two semi-final spots, with each team's fate hanging in the balance.
England vs USA
England and USA will face off in a must-win match for both sides. England needs a victory to keep their semi-final hopes alive, while USA must pull off a major upset to stay in contention. If England wins, they will move to four points, while USA will be eliminated.
West Indies vs South Africa
The other match in Group 2 pits West Indies against South Africa. West Indies has a slight advantage due to their superior net run rate, but South Africa can still qualify with a win. If West Indies wins, they will secure a semi-final berth regardless of the England-USA result.
Qualification Scenarios
* If England and West Indies win: West Indies will qualify with a higher net run rate than South Africa. England will need to win by a margin of 10 runs or more to surpass South Africa's NRR.
* If USA and South Africa win: South Africa will top the table with six points, while the other three teams will finish on two points each. West Indies will need to lose by 43 or more runs to drop below England's NRR.
* If USA and West Indies win: West Indies and South Africa will qualify with four points each.
* If England and South Africa win: South Africa will qualify with six points, while England will finish with four points.
USA's Chances
USA's chances of reaching the semi-finals are slim. They need to beat England by at least 56 runs and hope that West Indies loses by at least 91 runs.
