India, Pakistan, Australia, and West Indies are four of the eight teams that have qualified for ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 stage. Teams like England, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand can still qualify for the next round by winning their remaining matches, improving their Net Run Rates (NRR), and depending on favorable outcomes in other matches.
Pakistan qualification scenario for Super 8
India's recent win over USA has boosted Pakistan's chances of qualifying for T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 stage. Also, Pakistan's win over Canada in a low-scoring thriller improved their net run rate to 0.191. Pakistan are likely to advance to the Super 8 stage if they beat Ireland and USA lose their remaining group stage match against Ireland. However, if Pakistan's T20 World Cup match against Ireland is canceled due to rain, they will be out of the Super 8 race.
England qualification scenario for Super 8
England's situation in Group B mirrors that of Pakistan's, relying heavily on other teams' outcomes. To qualify for Super 8 stage, England must win their final two matches against Oman and Namibia. Additionally, they need Scotland to lose their last match against Australia on June 15. This scenario would secure England's place in the next round of the tournament.
Sri Lanka qualification scenario for Super 8
Sri Lanka's narrow defeat against Bangladesh has impacted their chances of advancing to Super-8 stage. To remain in contention, Sri Lanka must win their remaining matches against Nepal and Netherlands at all costs. Additionally, they need Bangladesh to lose at least one of their remaining two matches.
New Zealand qualification scenario for Super 8
New Zealand suffered a heavy defeat against West Indies today, resulting in a significant drop in their net run rate to 2.425. As a result, West Indies has secured their spot in Super-8 stage. Meanwhile, Afghanistan boasts a commanding net run rate of 5.225 after winning both their matches by a combined total of 209 runs. Both West Indies and Afghanistan have secured wins against Uganda by margins exceeding 120 runs. This situation presents a challenging path to qualification for New Zealand in the T20 World Cup 2024.
