The ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024 has entered the Super 8 stage. It started with 20 teams in four groups, and now 12 have been eliminated. Eight teams will play in two groups of four each. Then two teams from both groups will qualify for the semi-finals. Well, some of the best in the world will feature in the Super 8.
This leg of the competition will be played in West Indies. So the conditions will be different. There are a few players who would love these conditions. So we will talk here about five such players who will be there to watch out for in the Super 8 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
5 Players to Watch Out for in T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8
1. Jasprit Bumrah (India)
Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah has an incredible record in West Indies. He has bowled well in these conditions and is at the top of his game. Bumrah will be looking to carry on the momentum and contribute to India’s win. He has taken 7 wickets in three games at an economy rate of 4.09. He is surely one bowler who will pose a threat to any batsman in the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup 2024.
2. Nicholas Pooran (West Indies)
West Indian superstar Nicholas Pooran registered the highest individual score of this tournament in the last group match. He smashed 98 runs off 53 balls and was unstoppable. He will surely be one big player to watch out for. These are his home conditions, and he comes with a fearless approach. Pooran has already scored 164 runs at a strike rate of 150.45. Hence, he will be an exciting player to watch.
3. Travis Head (Australia)
Travis Head has been the big match player for Australia, and he has been in red-hot form at the moment. With 148 runs in four innings, he has already shown some glimpses, and he can be destructive in the second half of this tournament. Head is someone who can destroy any bowling unit on his own. That’s why he can be a game-changer for Australia in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 stage.
4. Heinrich Klaasen (South Africa)
Heinrich Klaasen has been one of the best strikers of the ball in modern-day cricket. He was in good form for SRH in the IPL 2024. Klaasen has played some good innings so far but has not registered a big score because the conditions were not good. But in the West Indies, teams will prefer spinners, and Klaasen is very dangerous against spinners. So it won’t be a surprise if Klaasen breaks some records in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 stage.
5. Jos Buttler (England)
Jos Buttler was a key reason that England won the T20 World Cup 2024 in Australia. He was in great form and scored consistent runs. He entered with good form under his belt. Buttler is one of the best T20I batters at the moment, and a lot of England’s chances depend on him. The English captain will be a big wicket for the opposition because he can single-handedly win games for his team.
