T20 World Cup 2026 Group D: The T20 World Cup 2026 group stage action will be marked from an exciting set of matches in group D, which will likely play as the ‘Group of Death’, starting February 8. With last edition’s runners-up, South Africa, locked in with New Zealand and Afghanistan, there will be an intense battle for the top two spots in the group. Also in the race are the United Arab Emirates and Canada as the teams lock horns for crucial points in the first phase of the tournament. What to watch out for While they haven’t quite had a decent run in recent months, the South African unit is capable of replicating their 2024 World Cup and give all the teams a run for their tournament this time. Venues: The teams in this group will play across three venues in India in Chennai, Ahmedabad and Delhi.
