Twenty20 Worldcup moves into Super8 Round

Super Eight round of ICC Twenty20 World Cup is kicking off today.
Pakistan will face Sri Lanka in their opening match of the Super Eight tomorrow at the Lord’s of London. Abdur Razzaq would play from the Pakistani side in place of injured Yasser Arafat; he was allowed by the ICC technical committee.

Australia, Bangladesh, Scotland and the Netherlands have all departed the World Cup following the group stages. The eight qualifiers are divided into two pre-determined groups, E and F.

Group E is made up of the top seeds from groups A and C and the second seeds from groups B and D, with the reverse in Group F. Each country plays three Super Eight games.

West Indies and Ireland take the seedings of the departed Australia and Bangladesh. The top two from each group progress to the semi-finals.

The first match will be played between the teams of Ireland and New Zealand and the second one to be played between England and South Africa.
