The T20 World Cup 2024 has surprised everyone so far. Very low ranked teams are turning around, fans are getting excited about low scoring matches. The host USA has impressed the most, which has created a sensation in the cricket world by defeating Pakistan in a match that went to the Super Over. Let's find out which associate countries, including the USA, can make it to the Super-8 of the T20 World Cup.
USA needs one more win – Group A
The United States national team is participating in the Cricket World Cup for the first time. As soon as the USA defeated Pakistan, media around the world covered the news. The team has won both its matches so far in the World Cup and is in second place in Group A with 4 points. USA still has 2 matches left to play, if it wins even one of them, then its entry into the Super-8 will be almost certain.
Scotland can make history – Group B
Scotland's match against England in the T20 World Cup 2024 was cancelled due to rain. One point from that match still seems to be going in Scotland's favour. After the match against England was cancelled, Scotland defeated Oman and Namibia by big margins. Scotland currently has 5 points and its net run rate is +2.164. On the other hand, England, which lost to Australia, will have to defeat Oman and Namibia by a big margin if it wants to dream of the Super-8. But if Scotland somehow manages to defeat Australia or their match gets cancelled, then Scotland will go to the Super-8.
Netherlands have a golden opportunity – Group D
Netherlands has many good players and if the team performs well, they will definitely make it to the Super-8. Currently, the team has registered one win in 2 matches and still has to face Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. In Group D, South Africa has almost reached the Super-8, but Netherlands can get another place. To do this, the Dutch team will have to win both their next matches.
