Super 12 Stages
Group 1: Australia, South Africa, England, West Indies, A1, B2
Group 1 definitely is the group of death. England is by far the most feared white-ball cricket side while West Indies players are the kings of T20s. Australia and South Africa would also be looking to put their name on the elusive trophy. It is most likely that Sri Lanka would join this group and make it even more challenging.

Group 2: India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Afghanistan, B1, A2
Group 2 boasts of arch-rivals India and Pakistan. The two sides last met in World Cup 2019. It will be interesting to see if the Men in Blue can maintain their 100% record vs Pakistan in the World Cups. New Zealand always outperforms their expectations it will be naive to rule out the Afghanis who have some serious T20 cricketers in their ranks. The group stages will culminate on 8 November.
