scheduled for 15 February 2026 at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, with a scheduled time of 7:00 PM IST. Other must-watch group matches include India vs USA, England vs West Indies, Australia vs Sri Lanka, and South Africa vs New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>The knockout phase intensifies with semifinals on 4 and 5 March, leading to the grand finale on 8 March at Ahmedabad\/Colombo. Kolkata and Mumbai will host the semifinals; Ahmedabad hosts the final. However, if Pakistan qualifies, the final will shift to Colombo.<\/p>\n<h2>Super Eights Phase and Knockout Structure<\/h2>\n<p>The Super Eights phase runs from 21 to 28 February 2026, featuring eight qualified teams competing in a round-robin format. Each team will play three round-robin matches within its Super Eight group, with points awarded for wins and no results. Rankings are decided by points, followed by net run rate if teams are level.<\/p>\n<p>The top two teams from each Super Eight group progress to the knockout stage, setting up cross-group semifinals: Group X leaders face Group Y runners-up, and vice versa. From this point on, it\u2019s pure elimination cricket. One defeat ends the campaign, raising the intensity of every over. The winners of the semifinals then meet in the final to crown the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026 champions.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Follow Every Match Live<\/h2>\n<p>Fans can catch the T20 World Cup action online via JioHotstar, for complete coverage, Airtel users can download Airtel Xstream Play which bundles access to 25+ OTT platforms, including Netflix, JioHotstar, Zee5, SonyLiv, AHA, Hoichoi, Lionsgate Play, Chaupal, manoramaMAX, ChanaJor, Sun NXT, ShemarooMe, Epic On, DocuBay, ULTRA, Klikk, Hungama, Nammaflix, PlayFlix, ShortsTV, Raj Digital, Eros Now, MX Player, Times Play, Addatimes, VROTT, and DistroTV <em>(Note: the OTT partners are subject to change over time)<\/em>, ensuring you never miss a match.
