The ODI World Cup Qualifiers 2023 enters the crucial Super Sixes stage, where Zimbabwe and Oman kick off the action in the opening match. This stage features the top three teams from each group of the initial round, with Group A represented by Zimbabwe, Netherlands, and West Indies, and Group B comprising Oman, Sri Lanka, and Scotland.
The Super Sixes stage holds great significance as it determines the final two teams that will secure their spots in the highly anticipated ODI World Cup, slated to take place in India later this year. Excitement and competition are expected to intensify as teams battle it out for the coveted qualifying positions in the tournament.
The Super Sixes stage of the ODI World Cup Qualifiers maintains a specific format. The top three teams from Group A and Group B will retain the points they acquired from matches against teams in their respective groups. This implies that the points accumulated by each team from encounters with fellow Group members will be considered in the initial points table for the Super Sixes.
To illustrate, let’s consider Zimbabwe’s performance in Group A. They triumphed over both West Indies and Netherlands, earning them four points. In the Super Sixes, Zimbabwe will commence with these four points and will still have two matches left to play.
This format ensures that teams’ achievements in the initial group stage directly influence their position and points in the Super Sixes. It adds an additional level of competitiveness and strategy as teams strive to secure their position in the ODI World Cup based on their overall performance throughout the tournament.
