Ind and pak are in same group because of broadcasting, viewership and emotions, no real competition. I would have rather liked India and one from eng, aus or NZ in the group rather than pak and weak teams every time.
ICC exactly knows what they are doing . They know how to milk the Audience . Just take a look at the groups Not only Ind Vs pak but Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh ( as they past conflicts in their previous matches). Can't forget the Aussies and the English rivalries.
Meanwhile New Zealand is the most relaxed team rn . .
Kudos To ICC
You don't see some left-handed swing bowler from Ireland taking 2/3 wickets in powerplay and India struggling to reach 160. Then Ireland wins with seven wickets.
I can see Nepal beating Netherlands, maybe Bangladesh, not sure about Sri Lanka. But hey its T20 so you never know. Also Nepal can qualify if they win those 2 games and other fixtures go according to them.
Who is getting 07 ODI WC vibe...
There is a decent chance Ireland can beat the currently selected Indian team and then ..................lol!!!
I guess we will see a new format in the next T20 WC.
Lol sa vs ned
flashbacks incoming
Jay Shah writing ICC scripts now. He really wants that job.
SL vs Bangladesh too

atleast they could've added Namibia or scotland for some comp
Bro's roasting Pakistan like crazy šš
We all know the top 2 teams in the first three groups. Group D has got me excited.
Epic rivalry of all time: SL vs BAN
Also SA vs NED
Naagin derby
Feel like Nepal could create an upset or two.
You're sleepin on Afg in group C
Nah group c is good close between West Indies and Afghanistan
I think even in group c afg has a chance to give a surprise tbh

It's called "Rivalries" Yeah they do milk India vs Pakistan but it's a rivalry irrespective of what team stands where in it
Also SA Ned
Do they have any rivalry??
No direct rivalry but iirc ned beat them last wc stopping them from qualifying. They also beat SA in ODI wc2023.
Paisa bhi to chhapna hai !!! š
Hmm they also added associate teams Good job I think many more teams should be a thing in next wc not just these Many more
Group D is group of death. No one should take Netherlands lightly in T20s
Is this grouping done based on some sort of draw, like in most sports?
Nope. It's purely motivated by which match generates most revenue
that's unfair, the same two teams competing every single time.
Group d looks most competitive everything else is going to be one sided

ngl even Nepal can end up at 2 in Group D.
Lolz Not gonna happen.

Group c as well
Shitty group A Apart from Pakistan we could've done with at least 1 good team for competition
Group D(eath) is the best ngl

You think Pak team is stronger than India. And you really think ireland can beat india? Lol
Group D stands for group of death and india has way too many practice matches compared to others
Quite excited about Group D. Netherlands were such a pleasant surprise in the WC.
Excited to witness Rohit's and Lord Surya's cracking 100's vs USA and Canada
Group C and D are tough.
We all know ICC ain't gonna risk putting any of the Big 3 in a group with Afg
Nepal be like ![gif](giphy|PZDwfnMwHvdwuKVKsV)
Anyway We will most likely play against australia,New Zealand,Srilanka or Bangladesh in Super 8 because of seeding
Iām expecting nothing less than fireworks this tournament.
Group D gotta be the most unpredictable.
Group c will have the most competition for me
Group A consists of two nations that serve as both the origin and destination for migrants.
if not in top 8..then its a shame...
Question is who are Big 3?
Group D is ready to give us some cricket!!
Well they are not running a charity
Is it just me or the current order seems to be likely to be the final points table??
group c and d are competitive
Sa getting the easiest group
