Reviewed by Anjali DeshmukhT20 World Cup 2026 played 32 matches across 4 groups, with 18 teams in the tables below. Every figure is counted from the ball-by-ball record of those matches, and knockout games are excluded: they decide the title, not points. India took the title.
Not shown: Group B, Group 2. The open archive is missing matches there, and a table built on partial data would be wrong in both points and net run rate.
