Who Qualified — Super 8 Teams at a Glance
| Group | 1st | 2nd |
|---|---|---|
| Group A | India | Pakistan |
| Group B | Zimbabwe | Sri Lanka |
| Group C | West Indies | England |
| Group D | South Africa | New Zealand |
Three teams finished unbeaten across the group stage — India (+2.500 NRR), West Indies (+1.874 NRR), and South Africa (+1.943 NRR). All three enter the Super 8 in outstanding form and with serious momentum.
The biggest shock was Australia going home from Group B — a result nobody predicted. Afghanistan also exit despite winning their final match against Canada. USA reached the Super 8 on merit, continuing the growth of cricket in America. For the full group-by-group results and qualification breakdown, everything is covered in detail.
Key Stories From the Group Stage
Before the Super 8 begins, here is what defined Stage 1:
- India — dominant from ball one, Farhan’s century vs Namibia, Varun Chakravarthy’s spin a standout
- West Indies — four from four, Shai Hope leading brilliantly, Shamar Joseph taking wickets for fun
- South Africa — equally perfect, NRR nearly +2, clinical in every department
- Zimbabwe — topped Group B ahead of Sri Lanka, the real surprise package of Stage 1
- Australia eliminated — biggest upset of the group stage, out before the knockout rounds
- Afghanistan out — Trott’s farewell, losing to NZ and SA too costly despite beating Canada
- Pakistan’s recovery — struggled early but Farhan’s 100* vs Namibia and a 102-run win confirmed Super 8
Super 8 — Fresh Start, All Points Reset

Who Makes the Semi-Finals — Early Prediction
Based purely on group stage form and squad strength:
Group 1: India are near-certainties to top it. The second spot is the real battle — South Africa vs West Indies is going to be one of the matches of the tournament.
Group 2: England and Pakistan look the most complete sides. Sri Lanka on home conditions are dangerous. New Zealand are quietly consistent and should never be written off.
A potential India vs Pakistan semi-final or even final remains very much alive depending on how both teams finish in their Super 8 groups. For all Super 8 team profiles and squad details heading into the knockout stage, everything is updated.
