Team India’s final group stage match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 against Canada on 15 June in Lauderhill was abandoned without a ball being bowled, due to a wet outfield.
Consequently, the men in blue, who had already secured their place in the Super 8 stage after defeating the USA on Wednesday (12 June), finished at the top of the Group A points table. Co-hosts USA secured second position, while Canada replaced Pakistan in third place.
India are now placed in Group 1 for the Super 8 stage of the tournament.
Super 8 Groups
The Super 8 stage is divided into two groups, Group 1 and Group 2, each consisting of four teams that qualified from the initial group stage.
Group 1 will consist of India, Australia, Afghanistan, and any one of Bangladesh and the Netherlands. Notably, Bangladesh's chances are more promising than that of the Dutch.
Group 2 will consist of the USA, South Africa, West Indies, and either England or Scotland.
It should be noted that eight teams were already seeded, and their Super 8 groups were not dependent on their finishing position in the initial stage. India, for instance, was seeded as A1, and would have hence featured in Group 2 of the Super 8 even if they finished second in their group-stage campaign.
Notably, the top teams from each of the two Super 8 groups will advance to the semi-finals.
