The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in West Indies and USA is heating up as only four matches remain in the Super Eight stage. All eight teams are still in the running to reach the semi-finals. Let’s see how each team stands and what they need to do to advance.

Group 1

India

India is in a strong position with four points and a net run rate of 2.425. A win against Australia will secure their spot in the semi-finals, but a loss could see them overtaken by Australia or Afghanistan. If they qualify, they will play in Guyana on June 27.

Australia

Australia has two points and a net run rate of +0.223. Their loss to Afghanistan has put them in a tricky spot. A win against India is crucial for their semi-final hopes, while a loss could see them miss out.
