Coming up tommorow:

13th Match, Group E: India v New Zealand at Johannesburg

(10:00 local, 08:00 GMT)

14th Match, Group F: Australia v Bangladesh at Cape Town

(14:00 local, 12:00 GMT)

15th Match, Group E: South Africa v England at Cape Town

(18:00 local, 16:00 GMT)

Robin Abrahams adds: The teams for Group E and F were already defined in the regulations before the tournament started.

The ICC Twenty20 World Championship 2007 will be contested by 12 teams which have been 'seeded' and divided into four groups:

A

South Africa

West Indies

Bangladesh

B

Australia

England

Zimbabwe

C

New Zealand

Sri Lanka

Kenya

D

Pakistan

India

Scotland

The Super Eight series will consist of eight teams divided into two groups of four based on their seedings in the Group stage as follows:

Group E

South Africa

England

New Zealand

India

Group F

Bangladesh

Australia

Sri Lanka

Pakistan

Team names for the Super Eight stage are indicative based on the top two

teams from the Group Stage qualifying.

If these teams do qualify they will be seeded in position 1 and 2 as

specified regardless of whether they finish first or second in their group.

For example, if West Indies (A2) win Group A and South Africa come second,

for the purposes of the Super Eights, South Africa will still be A1 and West

Indies will be A2. If, for example, Bangladesh qualifies instead of South

Africa, Bangladesh will become A1.
