T20 World Cup

[Tintinnabulate]

It begins on 30th April 2010 .

Groups are:



The top two seeded teams are allocated slots in the Super Eight stage regardless of where they finish in their group. The Super Eight stage is not determined on winners and runners-up.

For example, Pakistan are designated A1 and Bangladesh A2 in their group. If they both qualify then, regardless of who wins the group, Pakistan will go into Group E and Bangladesh Group F. If, however, Australia qualifies instead of, say, Bangladesh, they will take their designation as A2 and move into Group F.

This has been done so that supporters who buy Super Eight tickets can be assured of knowing who they will be watching - assuming their team qualifies!

Each team will play every other team in its group.

No points from the Group stage will be carried forward to the Super Eight series.

The top two teams from each group in the Super Eight series of the competition will progress to the semi-finals where the team placed first in Group E will play the team placed second in Group F and the team placed first in Group F will play the team placed second in Group E.

The winners of the semi-finals will contest the final.

I am sure its decided by the rank you came in the last T20 World Cup. Australia didn't even qualify from the Group Stages last time, so that explains why.

Looking forward to this, few of our sussex boys out there (wright and yardy) saying that must make CC or CB40 thread soon, 4/4 for sussex so far.

As for Englands chances hmm semis?

Going to be a good tournament. Can't see Pakistan winning it again though. West Indies got some big hitters, wouldn't surprise me to see them win it. India have to do better than that aswell. Having seen the IPL and some of the players they have that I hadn't really heard of, they're good in that format.

Some of the Indian players were in great form in the IPL so hopefully they will be able to do well in the World Cup.
Tbh its very hard to predict who will win. No one thought India would win the first one. Pakistan qualifying to Super 8's last year was doubtful but they ended up winning it.
