4 big teams that will be out of the group stage in T20 World Cup! Defending champions in trouble

 

4 Teams who can be out of the tournament after the group stage: The ninth edition of the T20 World Cup (T20 World Cup 2024) is quite different from the rest of the previous editions, because this time 20 teams are involved in the race to win the title. In terms of experience, smaller teams are seen giving tough competition to bigger teams, due to which some major teams are in danger of being out of the group stage. In this article, we will mention the 4 big teams who are in danger of being out of the group stage.

These are the 4 big teams that can be out of the group stage

4. Sri Lanka

The Sri Lankan team, which won the T20 World Cup title in 2014, is also included in this list. In the current season, Sri Lanka has been placed in Group D, which includes South Africa, Bangladesh, Netherlands and Nepal. South Africa has already qualified for the Super 8. In such a situation, only one more team from this group will reach the second stage.

Sri Lanka has lost two of the three matches played so far, while one of its matches was cancelled. The Sri Lankan team is at the bottom of its group. Now it has to play its last match against Netherlands and even if Sri Lanka wins in this, it will still have only three points. On the other hand, Bangladesh and Netherlands have 2-2 matches left.

3. New Zealand

The New Zealand team led by Kane Williamson has entered the tournament with the intention of winning its first T20 World Cup. But in its very first match, it had to face a crushing defeat by 84 runs at the hands of Afghanistan. Now the Kiwi team will have to win all its remaining three matches by a big margin to reach the Super 8. At the same time, Afghanistan and West Indies now have to win only 1-1 matches to qualify.

2. Pakistan

This tournament has not been anything special so far for the Babar Azam-led Pakistan team. After losing two matches in a row, Pakistan got a win against Canada in the third match. Now Pakistan will have to defeat Ireland in its last match to qualify for the Super 8. After this, it will also have to depend on the results of other teams.

1. England

Defending champion England is in Group B, in which Australia has qualified for the Super 8. At the same time, Oman and Namibia are out of the race to win the trophy. Now only one team from Scotland and England will reach the second round.

England need to win their remaining two matches with big wins and hope that Australia beats Scotland in the upcoming match.
