T20 World Cup 2026 Points Table Super 8: England defeated New Zealand by four wickets to throw Pakistan a lifeline to secure a semi-final spot at the T20 World Cup from Group 2. England won all three of their games from the group to breeze through to the semis. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s clash with Sri Lanka on Saturday will decide who ends up as the second semi-finalist.
Meanwhile, in the other group, South Africa, the only unbeaten team in the T20 World Cup 2026, have qualified for the semi-finals after defeating West Indies by nine wickets and watching India secure a 72-run victory over Zimbabwe in the second game of Thursday. India’s victory at the Chepauk means that their final Super 8 clash against the West Indies will be a virtual quarter-final for the second spot in the semis from Group 1.
South Africa were not assured of making it to the semis despite their commanding nine-wicket victory over the West Indies on Thursday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. But India’s win in Chennai meant that Zimbabwe were out of the running and South Africa were the first team from Group 1 to secure a semis spot.
Thursday’s results mean that South Africa are on top of the standings in Group 1 after winning both their games, including the clash against India. Their final game will be against Zimbabwe. West Indies, meanwhile, are second despite the loss in Ahmedabad.
