Super 8 Group E

The super 8 group includes A1, B2, C1 and D2. That means:
India (A1),
England (B2),
West Indies (C1)
South Africa (D2).

The C1 was initially attached to Australia, but as Australia got out of the tournament, West Indies, the non-seeded team in Group C, took the seed of Australia.

Super 8 Group F

The super 8 group incorporates A2, B1, C2 and D1- meaning Group F includes

Ireland (A2),
Pakistan (B1),
Sri Lanka (C2)
New Zealand (D1).

A2 was the seeding of Bangladesh. However, Bangladesh got out of the tournament losing both the games, and thus, Ireland is given the A2 seed.

Each of the 8 teams of Super Eight round will play once against three other teams of their group as well as three teams of the other group (excluding the team they already met in the group stage). For example, India will play against all the other teams of Super Eight, except Ireland who they already met in Group A. Here, the schedule of Super Eight round:

England Outplayed By Netherlands In World T20 Opening Match

ICC World Twenty20 opener creates history when England were defeated by Dutch.In a outstanding last-ball finish, England were thrashed out by the Netherlands by four wickets.
Chasing the target of 162 on an even surface that allowed batsmen to go through with their shots, the Dutch batsmen achieved the target on the last ball with four wickets to spare.
Earlier,England started there match in star batsman Kevin Pietersen’s absence from the playing XI due to an Achilles tendon injury.

For England, the adventurous opening duo of Luke Wright (71) and Ravi Bopara (46) got the team off to a blazing start, bringing up the 100-run partnership inside 12 overs. ten Doeschate, who plays alongside Bopara for Essex, dismissed his county team-mate to trigger a mini collapse for England.
Soon after seamer Edgar Schiferli got rid of the dangerous Owais Shah (5). Wright held fort and continued to play his strokes but did not find any substantial support from the English middle and lower order.So unusual was the English innings that it was deprived of a single six in the innings. Wright’s eight boundaries were complimented by five off Bopara’s blade besides one by Collingwood.
For the Netherlands, Dirk Nannes went wicket-less but conceded an acceptable 30 runs off his four-over spell. ten Doeschate proved to be their most effective bowler with figures of 2-35 while part-timer Peter Borren finished with figures of 1-31.

Nerve overtook the Dutch chase when their batsmen lost lost the momentum in the period immediately after the 15-over mark. A tremendous late burst by England spearhead James Anderson (3-23) pegged things back for the Netherlands but Ryan ten Doeschate held his nerves and stunned Paul Collingwood’s men.

The Netherlands went into the final over needing 7 runs but came up against a fired-up Stuart Broad, who conceded just three runs from the first three balls.

Schiferli was left with the strenuous task of finishing off the game, as the Dutch needed two runs off the last ball. Schiferli hit the ball straight back at Broad and ran for life. Broad collected the ball cleanly in his follow-through but failed to hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end. The result was disastrous for England as there was no fielder to back up, allowing Schiferli and ten Doeschate to come back for the second run and seal a famous victory at the Lord’s.
It was the fifty-run stand between Borren (30) and de Grooth for the fourth-wicket that held the Dutch innings together and proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Final Score:

ENGLAND: 162/5 (20) RR: 8.10

Ravi Bopara : 46 runs on 34 balls, 4 fours, S/R 135.29

ICC World Twenty20: Rohit Sharma shocks Pakistan

Pakistan's innings was like a bad action movie: it started and finished at speed, but went through an extended slow passage in the middle. They did eventually manage to claw their way to 158 for six, but even that looked manifestly inadequate once the Indian openers got up and running.

Virender Sehwag missed this match with a bad shoulder, which left the way clear for his replacement, Rohit Sharma, to deliver a dream of an innings of 80 off 53 balls. He is a baby-faced 22 year-old, and there is nothing stiff or rigid about his batting either.

His hands yield beautifully when he plays a soft deflection, and they move with uncanny speed when he decides to lash one over mid-wicket. India have been looking for a possible replacement for Sachin Tendulkar for years, and here they have a contender.

One might have expected Gautam Gambhir, the more established player, to try to compete with Sharma's virtuosity. Sensibly, though, Gambhir, who made an unbeaten 52, performed a steady supporting role. Given that Sehwag has expressed an interest in moving down into the middle order, it will be interesting to see what happens when he comes back into the team.

After the small crowds and desultory West Indies performances that marred the start of this season, it was good to see such exuberance on and off the field. But England had better watch out when they come to keep their Super Eight date with India (pencilled in for Lord's on Sunday week). Paul Collingwood's men could end up feeling like the away team.

Final Score:

The Oval: Pakistan 158-6 (20 overs; Misbah ul-Haq 37no, Younus Khan 32); India 159-1 (17 overs; R G Sharma 80, G Gambhir 52no). India won by by 9 wkts.
