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:

    Some of the greatest and most lasting effects of genuine oratory have gone forth from secluded lecture desks into the hearts of quiet groups of students.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    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)

    Writers and politicians are natural rivals. Both groups try to make the world in their own images; they fight for the same territory.
    Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
