The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Points Table tracks how all twenty teams perform in the tenth edition of the tournament. Teams earn 2 points for every win, 1 point for a tie or a no result, and 0 points for a loss.
When teams finish with the same number of points, Net Run Rate (NRR) decides who ranks higher.
After every match, the table gets updated. Fans can check in anytime to see how their teams stack up, who is in the Super Eight race, and which squads have hit their stride.
