2024 T20 World Cup Points Table: Updated standings after West Indies vs South Africa match

South Africa have secured the pole position in the 2024 T20 World Cup points table for Group 2 after a three-wicket win against the West Indies on Sunday, June 23. The Proteas held their nerve in the virtual quarterfinal and became the second team to qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup semifinals.

Earlier in the day, England crushed the USA to secure one of the top two positions in the 2024 T20 World Cup points table for Group 2. South Africa returned to the top spot by defeating the West Indies. The win helped the Proteas take their tally to six points from three matches.

South Africa will now play against the second-placed team from Group 1, which will likely be Australia or Afghanistan. Meanwhile, England have finished second in Group 2. Hence, the defending champions will most likely lock horns with India in a rematch of the 2022 T20 World Cup semifinals.

Can India secure 1st place in 2024 T20 World Cup points table for Group 1?

Inaugural champions India will have a golden opportunity to seal the top position in the 2024 T20 World Cup points table for Group 1 today (June 24). The Men in Blue will take on former champions Australia in a day game at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium.

If India win, they will set up a clash against England in the semifinals of the tournament. However, if India lose, the group will be wide open. The Men in Blue might even be eliminated if they lose by a huge margin.

Australia, meanwhile, are in a virtual do-or-die situation. If the Mitchell Marsh-led outfit loses today, Afghanistan can overtake them by defeating Bangladesh in the evening match. It will be exciting to see which two teams qualify for the semifinals from Group 1.
