Despite a tough group stage, England has secured a spot in the Super 8s at the Men’s T20 World Cup in the Caribbean.
Following a no-result match due to rain and a loss to Australia, Jos Buttler’s team needed to win their remaining two matches and hope for favourable outcomes in other games, along with a crucial improvement in their net run-rate.
Fortunately for England, all these factors aligned, allowing them to continue their title defence.
Let’s explore England’s Super 8 fixtures and how you can stay updated on their progress.

Understanding the T20 Super 8s Format
The Super 8s feature the top two teams from each of the four initial groups. These teams are then divided into two new groups of four, based on their seedings determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC) before the tournament begins.
England, seeded B1, is placed in Group Two alongside the co-hosts West Indies (C1), South Africa (D1), and the United States (A2). The USA secured their spot by advancing from Group A, taking the place of Pakistan.
In this stage, each team will play three matches within their group, earning two points for each victory. The top two teams from each group will then advance to the semi-finals, scheduled for 26 June. The winner of each group will face the runner-up from the opposite group.
The tournament will culminate in the final, set for 29 June in Barbados.
