The Super 8 spotlight shines bright! The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 is down to the elite eight, and the first battles have been fought. South Africa locked horns with the USA, while West Indies faced their co-hosting rivals, England. Let's delve into the drama that unfolded!
Proteas Thump USA, But the American Dream Lives On in Super 8!
South Africa dominated with the bat thanks to a brilliant 74 from Quinton de Kock and valuable partnerships, reaching a daunting 194 runs. Despite a valiant effort from Andries Gous (80* off 47) and Harmeet Singh (38 off 22), the USA fell short by 18 runs. The co-hosts put up a good fight but South Africa proved too strong, sending a message to the rest of the Super 8 contenders.
But the American dream isn't over yet! Though they fell short against South Africa, the USA's fairytale run continues in the Super 8. Next up, they face the co-hosts West Indies on Friday, June 21, and then battle England on Suday, June 23. Can they pull off another upset and claw their way into the semi-finals?
Salt Smashes England to Crushing Super 8 Victory Over West Indies!
England's openers turned on the style against West Indies in the Super 8 clash. Phil Salt went ballistic, bludgeoning an unbeaten 87 off just 47 balls – a knock so magical it propelled England to a massive eight-wicket win in just 17.3 overs. Even the dismissal of Jos Buttler (25) couldn't dampen England's spirits as Jonny Bairstow joined the party with a sizzling 48* off 26 balls. West Indies' 180/4, built on knocks from Nicholas Pooran and Johnson Charles, paled in comparison to England's batting fireworks. This clinical performance is a serious statement of intent – England has well and truly arrived in the Super 8!
The top eight contenders – India, USA, Australia, England, Afghanistan, West Indies, South Africa, and Bangladesh – are locked in a fierce battle for the four coveted semi-final spots. Here is how the Group stages unfolded progressing to the Super 8 Stage.
Bowlers Rule the Roost in Surprise-Filled T20 World Cup

This T20 World Cup has been a slow-burn adrenaline-packed tournament, thanks to bowler-friendly pitches that have sprung surprises and kept fans on the edge of their seats. These surfaces have been the great equalizers, turning the tide in favor of strategic bowling attacks and leaving even the biggest power hitters scratching their heads.
Just imagine, in the entire group stage, only three teams managed to crack the magical 200-run mark – and two of those games didn't even matter for qualification! A score that used to be considered "par" (160 runs) was only achieved a measly 11 times out of 40 matches. It's a clear sign that bowlers are calling the shots in this World Cup, making every run a hard-fought battle. Get ready for more nail-biting contests and unexpected upsets as the tournament progresses!
India Eyes Super 8 Glory in Sunny Caribbean!
The switch to batsman-friendly Caribbean pitches is a welcome change for India. This opens the door for an aggressive approach from openers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, while Rishabh Pant's explosive batting can be a major weapon in the middle order. Kohli, in particular, seems to have rediscovered his batting mojo, practicing with renewed vigor.
While India has a good chance of defeating both Afghanistan and Bangladesh with high scores, their real challenge lies in conquering the formidable Australians. Securing the top spot in Group 1 offers a strategic advantage. Not only could they face a weaker opponent in the semi-finals, but it might also help them navigate potential rain disruptions that could affect the schedule.

Both India and South Africa enter the T20 final undefeated. However, India has looked dominant in every match except their rain-shortened fixture against Canada, while South Africa has been pushed close a number of times over the tournament. However, India is developing something of a reputation for falling just short of the top prize, having lost to Australia in the Final of last year's World Cup.
