Group A
The primary objective of every team in the T20 World Cup is to secure a top-two finish within their group. This is the only guaranteed way to progress through the tournament’s rounds towards the knockout phase. However, this can be a tough task. The top-two teams from each group advance to the Super 8 round, followed by semi-finals and a final. To achieve this, a consistent performance is required across all games.
In Group A, Pakistan are leading the table after a back-to-back victory over USA and Namibia. The Green Shirts have two points and a net run rate (NRR) of +5.450. However, India are second despite a heavy defeat against the co-hosts. They will have to beat Netherlands and Pakistan next to qualify for the semi-finals.
South Africa are also in good stead after a thumping 76-run win over India at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Aiden Markram’s 82-ball innings led the Proteas to 187/7. Left-arm spinner Marco Jansen then ripped through India’s lower order to claim four wickets. India were bowled out for just 111 in 18.5 overs.
The race for the last two spots in the top four has taken a dramatic turn following a series of decisive results. England are now in pole position in Group 2 after a dominant 51-run win against Sri Lanka in Pallekele. Phil Salt and Quinton de Kock shared a brilliant 95-run opening stand in eight overs to put the home side in control.
Then, Jacks struck three of the five wickets that fell in the powerplay as Sri Lanka crumbled to 95 all out. New Zealand are in third place after a comprehensive 71-run victory over Pakistan, while Sri Lanka remain bottom of the group with a negative NRR.
Group B
The Super 8 stage of the 2025 ICC T20 World Cup has seen dramatic shifts in momentum after a series of decisive results. Defending champions India remain top of Group 1 following their crushing 72-run win over Zimbabwe, while West Indies move to second spot on the back of their record 107-run triumph over South Africa.
The Proteas are now second in the table, with two points and a healthy Net Run Rate of +3.800 after chasing down 176 thanks to David Miller’s unbeaten 63.
England occupy the third position, with two points after their emphatic 51-run victory over Sri Lanka in Pallekele. Phil Salt and Will Jacks shared a 95-run opening stand in the first innings before both teams were bowled out for less than 150 runs in the second. Pakistan and New Zealand are both on one point after their match was washed out, while Sri Lanka are bottom of the table with a NRR of -3.880 after failing to restrict England’s big batting line-up.
Group C
The Super 8 stage of the 2025 ICC T20 World Cup has seen clear early movement in both Groups. In Group 1, South Africa occupy second place following their 76-run rout of defending champions India at Ahmedabad, which earned them two points and a healthy Net Run Rate of +3.800.
Aiden Markram and Quinton de Kock both made unbeaten contributions, while left-arm spinner Ryan Rickelton claimed a remarkable four wickets in 3.5 overs to help the Proteas win with ease.
This impressive performance leaves India third with a heavy burden on their shoulders. They need a win against West Indies on Sunday to keep their hopes of reaching the semi-finals alive, and will look to Phil Salt to provide some early impetus at Eden Gardens.
Meanwhile, in Group 2, New Zealand are top with two points after a clinical 51-run victory over Sri Lanka in Pallekele. The Kiwis’ superior Net Run Rate now puts them on course to seal the semifinal spot in this group.
Group D
With the final three group stage matches complete, the picture in each of the four groups in ICC T20 World Cup co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka is beginning to take shape. With the top two teams from each group qualifying for the Super 8 portion of the tournament, the race for spots is on. The Icc T20 World Cup Super 8 Points Table will provide a clear view of the teams progressing to the next stage, along with their points and standings.
On Tuesday, the Group B picture became clearer as Zimbabwe joined co-hosts Sri Lanka in the next phase of the tournament, while Australia were eliminated after losing their final group match against Ireland. The picture in Group C is also sorted, with England and West Indies both through.
