The Super 8 matches for India will be held at three Caribbean venues that have hosted some memorable performances by the team over the years. Kensington Oval, previously host to a World Cup match in 2007, has a high capacity of 28,000 and an impressive record of aiding high batting ground which should promise some high-scoring matches. Named after the great West Indian cricketer, Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua is a 10,000-seater venue with a Christmas tree pitch that has something in it for both, the batsmen as well as the bowlers.

World Cup defense: India may have to play West Indies in Super8 Afghanistan is considered in the ranks of competitive T20 teams and is known for their aggressive batting and spin-heavy bowling attack, headed by names such as Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi. India will take on Bangladesh or The Netherlands, depending on the results of the qualifiers in the lead-up to the main event. Bangladesh, the little side from the sub-continent and the noted giant killer will be a tough proposition, and the Netherlands have proven they can spring surprises. Australia retained a core squad in T20 cricket and has good solid line-up names like David Warner and Pat Cummins. The aggressive way in which England plays will make this an entertaining match.
The Super 8 is divided into two groups of four teams. These divisions were essentially decided before the tournament began, as they were based on the teams’ rankings before the tournament started. With the exits of Pakistan, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka, it is now the USA, Afghanistan, and the winners of Bangladesh and the Netherlands who take those spots in the table, respectively. Each of the top two teams from the group will then progress to the semi-finals, so each match in the Super 8 is an important one.
How their key players fare will largely determine India’s success in the Super 8s. Captain Kohli, with his form and amazing target-chaser quality, has already garnered 195 runs in three outings at 65.00. Death over expert Jasprit Bumrah has scalped 7 wickets in 3 matches at an economy of 6.25. India Hero – Rohit Sharma: The aggressive opening batsman is the highest India run-scorer with 140 runs in three games, averaging 46.67. Hardik Pandya has been the stand-out performer so far with 85 runs and 4 wickets in three games.
For India to avoid slipping up in the Super 8 stage, they should play to those strengths and minimize their vulnerabilities. The presence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli makes India’s batting lineup one of the most dangerous lineups in the tourney. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya in the middle-order provide more depth and flexibility. Through a well-rounded pace battery (Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar), and the highly resourceful spin of a Yuzvendra Chahal, India is capable of tiptoeing into and out of the most testing pitch conditions.
