T20 World Cup 2024: Super 8 Stage Qualification Scenarios For Teams In Group A, B, C & D

We are just 11 matches away from the Super 8 stage of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024, taking place in the United States and the Caribbean Islands. This edition of the T20 World Cup has seen some big upsets and surprising eliminations already. Australia, India, South Africa, West Indies and Afghanistan have already secured their spots in the Super 8 stage. In contrast, the defending champions England and former champions Pakistan are facing difficulties and must win their remaining games while relying on favourable results in other matches to advance.

With rain expected to affect the remaining matches and three Super 8 spots still available, the league games have reached a crucial point. Here are the qualification scenarios for each group:
