India's Super 8 opponents at T20 World Cup 2026 revealed: Check match dates, venues, timings - All you need to know

India will begin their Super 8 campaign in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 with a rematch of last edition's final against South Africa. Unbeaten in the tournament so far, Suryakumar Yadav's men confirmed their qualification after a demolition of arch-rivals Pakistan in Colombo on Sunday. Earlier, the defending champions had beaten United States of America (USA) and Namibia in their opening two encounters in Group A.

With six points from three matches, India are atop the group, followed by USA, Pakistan, Netherlands and Namibia (already eliminated from the race of Super 8s). India play their final group game against the Dutch on February 18 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, which will also host their first Super 8 encounter against the Proteas on February 22.

In the Super 8 stage, India have been put in Group 1 along with South Africa, West Indies and Zimbabwe. It must be noted that prior to the T20 World Cup 2026, the top eight teams - Australia, India, South Africa, and the West Indies in Group 1; England, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka in Group 2 - were seeded base on their ICC T20I rankings at that time.

With Australia knocked out after Ireland vs Zimbabwe washed out, Zimbabwe took that position in Group 1. This was the second time Australia exited in the group stage of a T20 World Cup after 2009. Australia have won a single game so far, against Ireland.

Zimbabwe, now have five points from three matches, with a game left. They won against Oman and Australia and will play Sri Lanka in their final group stage game. Sri Lanka are the other team from Group B to have qualified.
