T20 World Cup 2024: The Super 8 fixtures for the T20 World Cup 2024 have been finalised, following Bangladesh’s crucial victory over Nepal to secure their place from Group D.

Shakib Al Hasan provided the finishing touch, leading Bangladesh to a 21-run victory. Meanwhile, the Netherlands lost to Sri Lanka by 83 runs, eliminating them from the tournament.
