After the group stage, the tournament progresses to the Super 12 stage, where the remaining teams compete for a spot in the semi-finals. The top two teams from each group in the Super 12 stage qualify for the semi-finals, and the winners of the semi-finals face off in the final to determine the champion of the T20 World Cup.

India is never far from the action with the big guns in full force. Kohli, Sharma and Gill can take the game away from any team inside of 10 overs. Keep a close eye on India in this T20 World Cup.
England haven’t been playing their best cricket this year with injuries and a new playing style not yielding the results they imagined. That’s exactly why they are a team to watch this T20 World Cup. They need results and they are a team with fire in their bellies. A team packed with big names, England certainly have an eye on the World Cup.
Pakistan have been a little off the pace in the T20 format, however they have a few stars that can get the job done. They will need to start strong and finish even stronger to win the 2024 T20 World Cup.
