T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 Points Table and Standings: The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 has entered its crucial Super 8 stage, and the race for the semi-finals is already intensifying across host nations India and Sri Lanka. With the group-stage slates wiped clean, all eight qualified teams began this round with zero points. Following an action-packed opening weekend featuring a rain-abandoned fixture, a commanding win for England, and a major statement from South Africa against hosts India, the points table is rapidly taking shape. Every victory and net run-rate (NRR) calculation now carries immense weight.  T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 Schedule Confirmed: Full Fixtures, Groups and Format.

T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 Group 2 Points Table

Pos Team Played Won Lost NR Points NRR
1 England 1 1 0 0 2 +2.550

The Role of Net Run Rate (NRR)

In a short three-match round-robin format, Net Run Rate frequently acts as the primary tiebreaker. In 2026, the ICC has maintained the standard calculation: a team’s NRR is determined by subtracting the runs conceded per over from the runs scored per over throughout the Super 8 stage.

Because the Pakistan-New Zealand match was a "No Result," both teams have a neutral NRR of 0.000. This places immense pressure on their upcoming fixtures, as they will likely need significant wins to stay ahead of England or Sri Lanka should points remain level.

T20 World Cup 2026 Semi-Final Qualification Roadmap

The top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals, scheduled for 4 and 5 March.

  • Group 1: India and South Africa are the statistical favourites to progress, but the West Indies' power-hitting and Zimbabwe's recent form make this a volatile group.

  • Group 2: The washouts in Sri Lanka have created a "sudden death" atmosphere. If England vs Sri Lanka is also abandoned today, all four teams will sit on one point, essentially turning the final two matches into quarter-finals.
