T20 WC: Windies Coach Sammy Defends Pre-seeding For Super 8s, Says It Helps Fans Plan Their Itinerary
T20 World Cup: Well before they started their campaigns in the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup, the top teams were aware of which group they would be placed in if they qualified for the Super Eight stage of the 2026 edition of the mega event.
That was because the top teams were pre-seeded into Super Eight Group 1 and Super Eight Group 2 and thus knew their opponents well in advance, well before they reached the group of eight of the tournament.
For this edition, India were X1, Australia X2, West Indies X3 and South Africa X4 and were placed in Super Eight Group 1, while England was Y1, New Zealand Y2, Pakistan Y3 and Sri Lanka Y4 and were slotted in Group 2. Only Australia failed to make it to the Super 8s, and their spot went to Zimbabwe, putting them in Group 1 alongside hosts and defending champions India, 2024 finalists South Africa and two-time champions West Indies.
