T20 WC 2026 Super 8 Points Table – Updated After February 26
Two blockbuster games on February 26 have completely reshuffled the Super 8 standings. South Africa demolished West Indies by 9 wickets in Ahmedabad and India survived their must-win clash against Zimbabwe in Chennai. The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 stage is heating up fast — here is the full updated points table after tonight’s results.
Super 8 Updated Points Table – Group 1
| # | Team | M | W | L | PTS | NRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | South Africa | 2 | 2 | 0 | 4 | +2.890 |
| 2 | West Indies | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | +1.791 |
| 3 | India | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | -0.100 |
| 4 | Zimbabwe | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | -4.475 |
South Africa are flying. Two wins from two, NRR of +2.890 — the Proteas are the runaway leaders of Group 1 and already have one foot in the semifinals. West Indies and India are locked on 2 points each but the NRR gap between them is significant. Zimbabwe are bottom with 0 points and facing elimination.
Super 8 Updated Points Table – Group 2
| # | Team | M | W | L | PTS | NRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | England | 2 | 2 | 0 | 4 | +1.491 |
| 2 | New Zealand | 2 | 1 | 0 | 3 | +3.050 |
| 3 | Pakistan | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | -0.461 |
| 4 | Sri Lanka | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | -2.800 |
England and New Zealand are both looking strong in Group 2. England sit top with 4 points while New Zealand have played one less game but carry the better NRR of +3.050. Pakistan are on 1 point with one result pending and Sri Lanka are yet to win in the Super 8.
What February 26 Results Mean for Every Team
South Africa – Semifinal Spot Within Sight
South Africa are in brilliant form and today’s 9-wicket demolition of West Indies sends the loudest message of the tournament. Aiden Markram’s 82* and the clinical bowling of Ngidi and Rabada showed why they are the most complete team in this World Cup. With an NRR of +2.890, they will almost certainly qualify for the semis regardless of their final group game result.
West Indies – Still in the Race
West Indies drop to 2nd after losing to South Africa but they are not out of it yet. Their NRR of +1.791 is healthy and they still have a game to play. A win in their remaining fixture combined with India dropping points could see them through. The next 48 hours are crucial for the Caribbean side.
India – Alive but Needing More
India kept their tournament alive with a win over Zimbabwe tonight but the NRR of -0.100 is a concern. They sit 3rd in Group 1 on 2 points, same as West Indies, but their NRR is significantly worse. India need to win their final Super 8 game and hope the NRR gap closes in their favour. Every run will count.
Zimbabwe – On the Brink
Zimbabwe sit bottom of Group 1 on 0 points after two losses. Their NRR of -4.475 makes it mathematically very difficult to qualify even if they win their final game. An extraordinary result would be needed. Their campaign has been remarkable — knocking out Australia in the group stage — but the Super 8 has proven a step too far so far.

Group 2 Breakdown – England Lead the Way
England’s unbeaten run in the Super 8 puts them firmly in control of Group 2. Their NRR of +1.491 is solid and a win in their next game should be enough to confirm their place in the semis. New Zealand are just behind on 3 points with a game in hand — their NRR of +3.050 is exceptional and they could leapfrog England if results go their way.
Pakistan are still in the mix on 1 point but they need a win and some help from other results. Sri Lanka are bottom with 0 points from 2 games and face an uphill battle to survive.
Semi-Final Scenarios – What Each Team Needs
Here is a simple breakdown of what each team needs to qualify heading into the final round of Super 8 games:
- South Africa — Need only a point or a decent NRR margin. Qualification nearly confirmed
- West Indies — Must win their final game and hope India’s NRR stays low
- India — Must win and improve NRR significantly. Cannot afford any more slip-ups
- Zimbabwe — Need a miracle. Must win and rely on a massive NRR swing
- England — Win their final game to confirm top spot in Group 2
- New Zealand — Win remaining game to secure qualification
- Pakistan — Must win and need other results to go in their favour
- Sri Lanka — Mathematically difficult. Need to win heavily and hope for upsets
For the complete ICC Men’s T20 WC 2026 match-by-match schedule, including all remaining Super 8 and semifinal fixtures, everything is updated and ready.
NRR Explained – Why It Matters Right Now
Net Run Rate could decide who goes through in both groups. With India (-0.100) and West Indies (+1.791) level on 2 points in Group 1, a swing in NRR from their final game could flip the qualification order entirely. Similarly in Group 2, Pakistan’s NRR position makes their path narrow even if they win.
Every extra run scored and every wicket taken quickly will count in the final round of Super 8 games. Teams cannot afford to win scrappily — they need to win big.
