T20 WC 2022 |Qualification scenarios for all the teams
The 8th edition of the T20 World Cup has seen many upsets and many games getting washed out due to rain, which has made each team's qualification to the semi-finals very interesting and challenging.
This year's edition of the T20 World Cup is one of the rare occasions where every team in the table can qualify for the semis, even when they are few matches left in the super 12.
This has ensured that there are no dead-rubber matches in the super 12 and each match has some weightage to the teams playing the match or it has an effect on other teams in their group.
