The Super 8 stage of the 2024 T20 World Cup is set to begin on June 19 with seven of the eight teams already confirmed. On June 24, India will face off against Australia in a rematch of the 2023 World Cup Final. India secured their spot in the Super 8 after topping Group A with three wins and one washed-out fixture.
The Super 8 stage will see India playing all three of their matches in the Caribbean, moving from the USA. The opening match for Team India in the Super 8 stage will be against Afghanistan on June 20. The format of the Super 8 includes two groups with the top two teams from each group advancing to the semi-finals.
India’s schedule for the Super 8 stage includes matches against Afghanistan on June 20, against Bangladesh or Netherlands on June 22, and finally, against Australia on June 24. All matches will kick off at 8:00 PM IST. The seeding for Group A was based on rankings, but due to Pakistan being eliminated, their spot will be taken by Bangladesh/Netherlands. Meanwhile, Group B consists of USA, England, West Indies, and South Africa.
Bangladesh is likely to be placed alongside India in Group A as they are still leading New Zealand in their qualifying match. If New Zealand loses again this weekend, they will drop out of contention for a spot in Group A and Bangladesh will take their place. This would mean that Netherlands could advance to Group B as well if they win their remaining qualifying match against Sri Lanka this weekend.
The Super Eight stage presents an exciting opportunity for both India and Bangladesh/Netherlands to prove themselves as strong contenders in this year’s tournament. With only two spots available in each group and a number of strong teams vying for them, it’s anyone’s game.
It’s worth noting that there has been some controversy surrounding Bangladesh’s qualification for Group A due to allegations that they have been using illegally overage players from Afghanistan during their qualifying matches.
In conclusion, the Super Eight stage is shaping up to be an intense battle between some of the world’s best cricket teams. With just one spot left up for grabs between Bangladesh/Netherlands and New Zealand or Sri Lanka depending on how things unfold in upcoming qualifying matches
