The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is set to feature the Super-8 stage starting on June 19. Out of the initial 20 teams, only 8 have advanced to the Super-8 round, including India, Afghanistan, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, USA, England, and potentially Bangladesh.

According to the ICC schedule, India's Super-8 matches are scheduled for June 20, 22, and 24, with the opening match against Afghanistan in Barbados on June 20 at 8 PM IST, available for viewing on Star Sports and Hotstar in Mumbai.

India's second Super-8 match against Australia will take place on June 22. India has shown strong performance in the T20 World Cup, winning their previous three matches against India, Pakistan, and USA due to exceptional bowling. Their upcoming Super 4 match against Canada will test their batting capabilities, crucial for success in the Super-8 phase.

In the Super-8 stage, India will play against Afghanistan first, followed by the second-placed team from Group D on June 22 in Antigua, and then against Australia on June 24 in Saint Lucia. The semi-final matches are scheduled for June 26 and 27, with the final match set for June 29.
