ICC 2026 T20 World Cup Super Eight: current points table update

The Super Eight stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 has already begun shaping a fiercely competitive landscape, with every point proving crucial in the race to the semifinals. After a dramatic start, the points table is starting to take shape, influenced not just by on-field performances but also by unpredictable weather.

In Group 2, a rain-hit clash between Pakistan 🇵🇰 and New Zealand 🇳🇿 at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo ended without a ball bowled, handing both sides one point apiece. This early washout has tightened the battle, putting extra emphasis on upcoming fixtures against England and Sri Lanka.

England’s morning clash with Sri Lanka in Pallekele on Sunday could prove pivotal in establishing early dominance, while the hosts will rely on home advantage to claw back into contention.

Meanwhile, Group 1 sees a heavyweight duel between India 🇮🇳 and South Africa 🇿🇦 in Ahmedabad on Sunday evening. Both teams are unbeaten so far, and the first points of the Super Eight stage will be crucial to set the tone. West Indies and Zimbabwe, with a point to prove, are ready to exploit any slip-ups to keep their semifinal hopes alive.

Under Super Eight rules, a win earns two points, while a tie or no result gives each team one point. With net run rate looming as a potential tiebreaker, every match carries high stakes.

Fans around the world are already watching closely as the points table begins to reflect the fine margins between success and elimination.

As the Super Eight unfolds from Colombo to Kolkata, the story of the points table is far from settled. Each game promises drama, strategy, and, sometimes, a touch of rain, all shaping who will make it to the semifinals on March 4 and 5 ahead of the March 8 final.
