The group stages of the T20 World Cup 2022 saw some of the biggest upsets in the tournament's history. In the 2022 T20 World Cup, underdogs Zimbabwe, Namibia, Scotland, and the Netherlands scored famous victories over top-ranked teams. While Ireland defeated England, Zimbabwe stunned Pakistan in the T20 World Cup Super 12 stage.

The Netherlands' epic victory over South Africa even paved the way for Babar-led Pakistan to resurrect their World Cup campaign. South Africa's humiliating defeat propelled Pakistan to the T20 World Cup semi-finals after Babar and company defeated Shakib Al Hasan-led Bangladesh in the virtual quarter-finals.
