As such, The excitement for the T20 World Cup has reached a fever pitch in recent days. The competition’s first round concluded on Friday, and the cricketing community has already been treated to some mind-boggling cricketing action.
However, this has resulted in more clarity surrounding the four teams that will qualify for the Super 12 stage. Which begins on Saturday with Australia taking on South Africa.
Because of what happened in the first round, Group 1 dubbed the “Group of Death” for a long time has become even more hazardous. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have joined Australia, England, South Africa, and the West Indies as members of the Commonwealth.
In essence, it appears to be a tragedy that four of the aforementioned clubs will be forced. To sit out the tournament. In the context of a T20 World Cup, though. This is likely what most teams would have planned for, even before the groups were set.

With only one night’s sleep, until the Super 12 phase of the T20 World Cup begins. It’s time to look further into the match-ups these sides have to offer and forecast how this group will play out. And, of course, identify the two nations that would emerge relatively undamaged from the ruins to advance to the T20 World Cup semi-finals.
Bangladesh was considered one of the dark horses to win the T20 World Cup before it began. Their bowling attack had performed admirably against Australia and New Zealand, and they appeared to be in good shape in the UAE, where wickets are likely to be similarly abrasive.
The Tigers’ twin victories against Australia and New Zealand, however, camouflaged their batting deficiencies. Which have subsequently shown out like a sore thumb, ensuring that, with five crucial Super 12 matches remaining, they appear the least likely to qualify from Group 1 for the T20 World Cup semi-finals.
