The Super 8 stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, is set to ignite on February 21, featuring the world’s elite teams in a high-stakes battle for the semi-finals. Following a competitive group stage that saw the surprise exit of 2021 champions Australia, the final eight have been split into two formidable groups. Group 1 features defending champions India, South Africa, the West Indies, and a surging Zimbabwe, who took Australia’s seeded spot. This group will play its matches across iconic Indian venues like Ahmedabad, Chennai, and Kolkata, headlined by a massive 2024 final rematch between India and South Africa on February 22.

Group 2 is equally competitive, consisting of Pakistan, England, New Zealand and co-hosts Sri Lanka. To minimize travel, all Group 2 matches will be held in Sri Lanka, primarily at Colombo and Kandy. The action kicks off with Pakistan facing New Zealand in the opening fixture. With teams starting on zero points and no carry-over from the previous round, every match is a virtual knockout. Fans can expect spin-friendly conditions to dominate the narrative as these heavyweights vie for the top two spots in each group to secure a place in the semi-finals.
