T20 World Cup 2026 Points Table (Live Updates)
Group A
Group A is undoubtedly the “Group of Death,” headlined by the legendary rivalry between India and Pakistan. Playing in familiar subcontinent conditions, India enters as a heavy favorite with their balanced squad, while Pakistan looks to reclaim its T20 glory. However, they cannot afford to be complacent. The USA and Netherlands have both proven to be giant-killers in recent ICC events, capable of pulling off massive upsets. Namibia rounds out the group, bringing a gritty bowling attack that could trouble top-order batters. For fans, the India-Pakistan clash remains the crown jewel, but the race for the second Super 8 spot will be a tactical battle between the rising associates and the unpredictable Green Shirts.
| Team | Played (P) | Won (W) | Lost (L) | Points (PTS) | Net Run Rate (NRR) |
| Pakistan (PAK) | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | +0.240 |
| USA | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| India (IND) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Namibia (NAM) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Netherlands (NED) | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -0.240 |
Group B
Group B features co-host Sri Lanka and the perennially dominant Australia. Playing on home soil, Sri Lanka will rely heavily on their world-class spin attack to navigate the group stages. Australia, known for their aggressive T20 brand, remains the team to beat. Joining them are Ireland and Zimbabwe, two sides with deep experience and the ability to dismantle top-tier nations on their day. Oman completes the lineup, looking to use their experience in Asian conditions to cause a stir. This group is a fascinating blend of raw power and crafty spin, where home-ground advantage for the Lions will be tested against the clinical execution of the Aussies.
| Team | Played | Won | Lost | Points | NRR |
| Australia | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Sri Lanka | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Ireland | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Zimbabwe | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Oman | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
Group C
Group C promises fireworks with two of the most explosive batting lineups: England and the West Indies. Both teams are former champions built on “total cricket” philosophies, making their head-to-head encounter a must-watch. Following the withdrawal of Bangladesh, Scotland enters the fray with a point to prove and a solid T20 record. They are joined by Nepal, who boast a massive, passionate fanbase and a spin-heavy roster suited for these tracks. Italy makes an interesting appearance, adding a European flair to the mix. Expect high-scoring games in this group, as the boundary-clearing ability of the English and Caribbean stars takes center stage.
| Team | Played | Won | Lost | Points | NRR |
| West Indies | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | +1.750 |
| England | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Nepal | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Italy | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Scotland | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -1.750 |
Group D
Group D is a diverse mix of styles, led by the consistent South Africa and the tactically brilliant New Zealand. The Proteas bring raw pace and athletic fielding, while the Black Caps are masters of ICC tournament formats. However, the real threat here is Afghanistan, whose world-class spinners are arguably the most dangerous in Asian conditions. Canada and the UAE round out the group; the UAE, in particular, will feel right at home with the weather and pitch conditions. This group will likely be decided by how the SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) nations handle the Afghan spin mystery, making every match a high-stakes chess game.
| Team | Played | Won | Lost | Points | NRR |
| South Africa | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| New Zealand | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Afghanistan | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| Canada | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
| UAE | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.000 |
