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)
  • New Zealand (5)
  • Zimbabwe
Group C
  • South Africa (3)
  • India (7)
  • 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:

    “If we can learn ... to look at the ways in which various groups appropriate and use the mass-produced art of our culture ... we may well begin to understand that although the ideological power of contemporary cultural forms is enormous, indeed sometimes even frightening, that power is not yet all-pervasive, totally vigilant, or complete.”
    —Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)
