How the Group Points Table Works
In the group stage, each team plays four matches, facing every other side in its group once.
| Result | Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| Win | 2 points |
| Tie / No Result | 1 point |
| Loss | 0 points |
Teams are ranked by total points, and if two or more teams are tied, Net Run Rate (NRR) is used as the tiebreaker.
ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026: Super 8 Pre-Seeding Explained
Before a ball is bowled in the group stage, the ICC already has the Super 8 framework locked in. The eight teams that qualify from the four groups will be slotted into two Super 8 groups based on pre-seeding, not fresh draws. This system is done to ease the travel and help fans plan which games to watch live from the stadium.
Each Super 8 group will eventually consist of four teams, but for now, these slots are placeholders, marked as X1–X4 and Y1–Y4, depending on where teams finish in the first round.
Super 8 Group 1 – Pre-Seeding
| Slot | Team (Pre-seeded) | P | W | L | NR | Pts | NRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| X1 | India | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| X2 | Australia | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| X3 | West Indies | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| X4 | South Africa | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
Super 8 Group 2 – Pre-Seeding
| Slot | Team (Pre-seeded) | P | W | L | NR | Pts | NRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Y1 | England | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Y2 | New Zealand | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Y3 | Pakistan | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Y4 | Sri Lanka | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
How teams land here (in simple terms)
- X1, Y1 → Group-stage table toppers
- X2, Y2 → Group-stage runners-up
- Pre-seeding decides which Super 8 group they enter, not their position
- Actual points and NRR reset once Super 8 begins
The top two teams from Super 8s Groups 1 and 2 will qualify for the semi-finals.
- 1st Semi-final: March 4 – X1 vs Y2 – To be Decided
- 2nd Semi-final: March 5 – Y1 vs X2 – Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
- ICC T20 World Cup Final – March 8 – Narendra Modi Stadium (if Pakistan don’t qualify)
