The T20 World Cup 2026 has entered the Super 8 stage and the fans have already witnessed some fine performances. South Africa and England have already registered their first win in this round while Pakistan and New Zealand had to settle for one point each after their match was washed out due to rain. 

The Proteas thumped India in their first fixture of the Super 8 stage by 76 runs after bowling the hosts out for 111 while chasing 188. Marco Jansen was the architect of India’s collapse as he scalped a four-wicket haul for 22 runs in 3.5 overs.
