The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup group stage was played in four groups of five teams. The top two teams from each group advanced to the Super 8 stage.[1][2]
On 11 June 2024, Australia became the first team to qualify for the Super 8 after beating Namibia at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.[3] England took the second qualification spot from Group B by virtue of their higher run rate after Scotland's defeat against Australia on the last match of the Group B at Daren Sammy Cricket Ground on 15 June 2024.[4] Australia and England progressed to their pre-seeded positions B2 and B1 respectively.[5]
