T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 qualified teams: West Indies, India first to make cut – get full list, format

With the T20 World Cup 2026 currently in full swing, the line-up for the Super 8 stage – scheduled to begin later this week – has already started to take shape.

From the 20 teams competing in the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup, eight nations – the top two from each of the four groups – will move into the Super 8 stage.

Two-time champions West Indies became the first nation to qualify for the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 with a convincing nine-wicket win against Nepal that assured them a top-two finish in Group C.

Defending champions India were the next team to make the cut for the Super 8 stage after a 61-run triumph over arch-rivals Pakistan in Group A.

Last year’s runners up, South Africa, have also qualified for the Super 8 from Group D alongside New Zealand.

Two-time winners England were the second team from Group C to enter the Super 8 after beating Italy by 24 runs in their final group match. 

Co-hosts Sri Lanka were the first team to punch their tickets from Group B after beating former champions Australia.

Zimbabwe were the second team from Group B to advance to the Super 8 after a washout against Ireland, which also knocked Australia out of the T20 World Cup.

However, one Super 8 spot is still up for grabs as we head into the business end of the group stage with former champions Pakistan and USA still in contention for the berth.
