After the group stage ended on February 20, these qualifiers split into two groups of four, each contesting three round-robin matches. The top two from each advance to semifinals on March 4 and 5, leading to the final on March 8.

Group 1 pits dominant India against gritty South Africa, upstart Zimbabwe, and explosive West Indies on subcontinental pitches that reward spin and test power hitters with expansive boundaries. Group 2 unleashes Pakistan, home-soil Sri Lanka, title-holders England, and steady New Zealand on turning tracks where dew could sway tosses in night games.

Sri Lanka, Group B leaders and co-hosts, harness Wanindu Hasaranga's spin sorcery and Pathum Nissanka's consistency, clashing with England on February 22 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy.
