T20 World Cup 2022: How Super 12 groups look

The group stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 is almost at its end. Sri Lanka has topped Group A and has joined Group 1 in the Super 12 fixtures. Meanwhile, the Netherlands finished as the runner-up in Group A and was included in Group 2 of the Super 12.

Meanwhile, Team India is gearing up to begin their campaign with arguably the most high-voltage fixture in the T20 World Cup, against arch-rivals Pakistan. The Men in Blue were knocked out of the tournament in the previous edition following a 10-wicket defeat against Pakistan in Dubai. However, the Indians are taking the match cautiously, given the fact that Pakistan defeated them in the Asia Cup 2022, essentially knocking them out.
