The ICC World Twenty20 2012 News

The ICC World Twenty20 2012 will be contested by 12 teams which have been 'seeded' and divided into four groups:

Group A                Group B               Group C                       Group D
A1: England           B1: Australia         C1: Sri Lanka              D1: Pakistan
A2: India                B2: West Indies     C2: South Africa         D2: New Zealand
Q2: Afghanistan     Q1: Ireland             Zimbabwe                  Bangladesh

*If a team seeded third in the group qualifies for the Super Eight, it will adopt the code of the team they have replaced. For example, if Q2 qualifies at England's expense in second place in group A, it would be A1 and India still A2. No points are carried forward to the Super Eight stage, and the top two teams in each Super Eight group will qualify for the semi-finals.
