West Indies were one of the most impressive sides from the opening stage of this tournament, topping a group that included England.

England on Tuesday became the first team to qualify for the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-finals after defeating Pakistan by two wickets in a thrilling Super 8 match in Pallekele, Sri Lanka.

They began their Super Eights campaign with a commanding 51-run win over Sri Lanka, a result that significantly boosted their net run rate and placed them at the top of the standings.
