​South Africa has been one of the strongest teams in the T20 World Cup 2026 as they remain unbeaten in the tournament and dominated their group. While England also played quite interesting cricket, especially in the Super 8 round, they still needed to fill some of the gaps.

​New Zealand played decent cricket so far in the tournament, but they are known for their high performance in the knockout stage of the ICC events. New Zealand qualified based on a better Net Run Rate after Pakistan failed to win the do-or-die game against Sri Lanka by the margin of 65+ runs.
