India confirmed a spot in the Super Eight stage of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 with a seven-wicket win over the United States of America in New York on Wednesday.
The Super Eight, the second round of the competition, will commence from June 19, with eight teams divided into two groups of four each. The top two from both will play the semifinals.
The groups will be determined on the basis of the seedings given to the sides before the start of the World Cup. The teams in the two Super Eight groups will be divided as follows: A1, B2, C1, D2 and A2, B1, C2, D1.
India was the first seed in Group A. Australia will advance to India’s Super Eight pool as the second seed from Group B. Since Group B had England, the defended champion, Australia was given the second spot.
Afghanistan confirmed its spot as C1 after beating Papua New Guinea on Friday. Afghanistan’s win eliminated New Zealand from the competition. West Indies will advance to the Super Eight stage as C2.
In Pool D, South Africa was the top seed and has advanced to the next round. The second team that goes through from that group, either Bangladesh, Netherlands or Nepal, will play India in the Super Eight.

| A1 - India | A2 - USA |
