Eight teams will battle it out for the four semi-final spots in the upcoming stage, which begins on Wednesday, June 19.

As per the ICC tournament format, the top two teams from each of the four groups in the preliminary round of the World Cup secure a spot in the Super Eight. This year, India (Group A), Australia (Group B), England (Group A), Afghanistan (Group C), West Indies (Group C), South Africa (Group D), and USA (Group A) have emerged as the seven teams that have qualified for this prestigious stage. Bangladesh became the final team to join the Super Eight after their 21-run win against Nepal on Monday.

India, Australia, Afghanistan, West Indies, and South Africa are the only teams to progress to Super 8 on an unbeaten note. The USA and England, on the other hand, made it through despite their respective losses to India and Australia in the group stage.

India, Australia, Afghanistan, and one of Bangladesh or the Netherlands will feature in Group 1, while West Indies, South Africa, England, and the USA have been clubbed into Group 2.

The Super 8 stage will begin from June 19 in Antigua with the match between the USA and South Africa, while Gros Islet will stage the clash between hosts West Indies and England on the same evening. On the following day, Group 1 members will be in action, with 2007 champions India taking on Afghanistan in Barbados. This will be India's first match in the West Indies in the tournament.

The more crucial fixture for India will be playing 2021 champions Australia on June 24, where Rohit Sharma's men will be looking to avenge their 2023 ODI World Cup final loss at home last November.

In Group 2, the two fixtures to watch out for will be defending champions England, who qualified after Australia beat Scotland on Sunday, taking on two-time winners West Indies, before the latter face South Africa, who have historically dominated the Men in Maroon.

Antigua, Barbados, St Lucia, and St Vincent, these iconic venues, will be the stage for all 12 games in this round, creating sense of connection for fans.
