The winner and runner-up of each group will qualify for the Super 12 stage.

This stage consists of two groups once again. Group 1 features defending champions West Indies, along with England, Australia, and South Africa. The winner of Group A and runner-up of Group B will be the other two teams in this category.

Group 2 features India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Afghanistan, winner of Group B and runner-up of Group A. The top teams of Group 1 and Group 2 will be qualified for the semi-finals.

This is the first time after the 2019 World Cup, where India and Pakistan will be locking horns with each other.
