2010 ICC World Twenty20 - Groups

Groups

The groups were announced on 4 July 2009. The initial four group format is the same as that used at the 2009 tournament. Team seed in brackets.

Group A
  • Pakistan (1)
  • Bangladesh (9)
  • Australia (10)
Group B
  • Sri Lanka (2)

  • Zimbabwe
Group C
  • South Africa (3)

  • Afghanistan
Group D
  • West Indies (4)
  • England (6)
  • Ireland
Notes
  • Afghanistan and Ireland qualified via the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.
  • As Zimbabwe withdrew from the 2009 competition, they failed to achieve a seed for the 2010 competition.
  • As Ireland reached the Super Eight stage of the 2009 competition, they would have been the eighth seed if they were a Test-playing nation. Therefore, an eighth seed is missing from the competition.

Famous quotes containing the word groups:

    “In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “Only the groups which exclude us have magic.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The awareness of the all-surpassing importance of social groups is now general property in America.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
