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.
