The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Points Table tracks how all twenty teams perform in the tenth edition of the tournament. Teams earn 2 points for every win, 1 point for a tie or a no result, and 0 points for a loss.

When teams finish with the same number of points, Net Run Rate (NRR) decides who ranks higher.

After every match, the table gets updated. Fans can check in anytime to see how their teams stack up, who is in the Super Eight race, and which squads have hit their stride.

The T20 World Cup 2026 group phase runs from February 7 to February 20, after which Super Eight qualification will be finalized.

The top two teams from each group advance to the Super Eight stage. Here is how the knockout rounds work:

  • Semi-final 1 (March 4): Winner of Super Eight Group 1 vs. Runner-up of Super Eight Group 2 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
  • Semi-final 2 (March 5): Winner of Super Eight Group 2 vs. Runner-up of Super Eight Group 1 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
  • Final (March 8): Winners of both semi-finals compete for the T20 World Cup 2026 trophy at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad at 7:00 PM.

If teams share equal points, Net Run Rate (NRR) serves as the official tiebreaker.
