Let’s look at three Associate nations who could qualify for the Super 8 in the T20 World Cup.
3 Associate nations who can qualify for Super 8
USA
Group A was set up in such a way that it was expected India and Pakistan would qualify for the Super 8, as no one had anticipated that the USA would beat Pakistan. However, the USA proved that they would play this tournament as a host nation and try their best to qualify for the next round.
The USA has played two matches and won both, against Canada and Pakistan. They are placed second, just below India, in the points table of Group A.

Scotland
Scotland has a fair chance to compete in the Super 8 stage as they have only one tough competition left in the group stage. Currently, the Scottish team is leading Group B with five points. Their match with England was washed out, giving one point to each team.
England has to win all their remaining matches by a significant margin to replace Scotland at the top of the points table.
Netherlands
The Netherlands also have a chance to make it to the Super 8 stage in Group D, where there is a close competition between the teams. The Dutch have won one match and lost one. If they manage to win both of their remaining matches, they could end up in one of the top two spots in the group.
