Twelve of the 16 participating nations have moved onward in the ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2024, where they will now partake in a brief 'Super Six' round en route to the semi-finals. For this round, the 12 teams have been divided into two groups of six, with the sides from Group A mingling with those from Group D and Group B with C from the group stage. (More Cricket News)

However, unlike in the group stage, not every team will play each other. Rather, a particular side in one of the Super Six groups will only compete against those it hasn't met yet. For example, India, winners of Group A, will not play Ireland or Bangladesh in the Super Six round even though they share the same bracket. Furthermore, teams which finished in the same position in their respective groups will avoid each other. As such, India will not play Pakistan, who topped Group D with three wins in three. 

To that end, India will only play games against New Zealand (Group D, 2nd) and Nepal (Group D, 3rd) in the Super Six round. The top two teams from both groups will advance to the semi-finals. 

India are the reigning and record (5) champions of the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup. The Boys in Blue are aiming to the first and only side since Pakistan in 2006 to successfully defend their crown and are only four games away from doing so.
