The T20 World Cup 2024 in West Indies and USA has thrown up quite a lot of surprises for fans and it promises to get even more interesting as the games pass. As unpredictable as the format is, this T20 World Cup 2024 will have several Test-playing nations who won't be part of the Super Eight stage. Before the tournament began, these teams were tipped to be making it past the group stage but poor performances and not much favour from the weather gods will instead see them exit the tournament prematurely. ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Schedule, Free PDF Download Online: Get T20WC Groups, Teams, Venues, Fixtures and Match Timings in IST.

The group stage of the competition will be succeeded by the Super Eight which then would determine the semifinalists. The group stage of this year's T20 World Cup 2024 has turned out to be a fascinating affair. Pakistan is one of the Test-playing nations which will not compete in the T20 World Cup group stage after they managed just two points from three games. The Babar Azam-led side started their campaign with a shock loss to the USA before being beaten by India, a contest they should have won. They did manage to win against Canada but a washout between USA and Ireland meant that the former went through. Bye Bye Pakistan Funny Memes: Fans Share Hilarious Memes and Jokes After Pakistan Cricket Team’s Elimination From T20 World Cup 2024 Super Eight Race.

Here are Test Playing Nations Who Failed to Qualify for Super Eight Round of ICC T20 World Cup 2024

Pakistan: With one win in three matches in Group A, Pakistan's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign has ended prematurely in the group stage. Dubbed as a pre-tournament favourite, Pakistan fell to a loss against USA, a result which left many in the cricketing world very surprised. Babar Azam and his men had the perfect opportunity to bounce back and make a mark against India and even had them at 119 all out in the first innings. But poor shot selection and batting led them to yet another defeat. With USA's subsequent rise, Pakistan would have always been under pressure and they would have wanted rain to not play spoilsport in the USA vs Ireland match. Unfortunately, it did and a washout saw USA get to five points, which is enough to overcome Pakistan, who can get maximum of four points. US Department of State Spokesperson Matthew Miller Says 'I Often Get in Trouble...' on Being Asked About USA's Cricket Match Win Over Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2024.

Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka have had a nightmarish campaign, which started off with a defeat to South Africa. The Lankan Lions had their batters to blame in that loss and found themselves on the wrong side of the result against Asian rivals Bangladesh in the next match. For Sri Lanka to stay alive in the Super Eight race, they would have needed to win both their matches by big margins and also hope other results went their way. Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed big time after their game against Nepal was washed out. Sri Lanka now have just one point and one match remaining--against Netherlands.

New Zealand: New Zealand too surprisingly find themselves out of the Super Eight race. The Black Caps, who always turn up in ICC events, suffered a shock loss to Afghanistan in their campaign opener before being beaten by co-hosts West Indies in their second match. Batting was their weaker link in both these losses and the Kiwis were left outplayed in the Super Eight race by Afghanistan and West Indies, who went through to the next round. Saurabh Netravalkar, Oracle Engineer and USA Cricketer, Works in Hotel After Cricket Matches, Reveals Sister Nidhi Netravalkar.

Ireland: Ireland have had a T20 World Cup 2024 that they would like to forget. Having to start off against a side was always going to be a tough task and Ireland expectedly did not win the match. But their performance, especially with the bat albeit on a tough New York pitch against Canada let them down. Needing to chase down 138 to win, Ireland's batting faltered big time before a late surge saw them get close to the total. They eventually finished with 125 runs. Ireland's next match against USA was washed out which now means that they can get a maximum of three points from now, given they beat Pakistan in their last match.

The Super Eight round of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 will start from June 19 onwards. The first semifinal will be played on June 27.
