West Indies have created history in T20 World Cup 2026, becoming the first team to officially punch their ticket to Super Eight stage.

In a one-sided encounter at Wankhede Stadium, the two-time champions dismantled Nepal by nine wickets on Sunday, February 15.

This win not only keeps Windies' perfect record intact but also marks the end of the road for Nepal, who are now officially eliminated from the tournament.

Group C qualification scenarios: Battle for 2nd Place

With West Indies sitting comfortably at the top with six points, the race for the final qualifying spot from Group C has intensified.

As the tournament enters its final group-stage phase, ICC has outlined strict criteria for breaking ties in the standings:

1. Total Points: Teams receive 2 points for a win and 1 for a no result.

2. Number of Wins: If points are equal, the team with more wins is ranked higher.

3. Net Run Rate (NRR): If wins are also equal, the team with the superior NRR progresses.

4. Wicket Count: In the rare event that points, wins, and NRR are identical, the team with the higher number of wickets taken throughout the group stage will advance.
