All Unbeaten Teams in One Bracket

In a statistical anomaly caused by the ICC’s pre-seeding system, Group 1 has become the tournament's "shark tank." This bracket features all four teams that finished the group stage with a perfect record: India, South Africa, West Indies, and Zimbabwe. Because the seeds were locked in before the tournament began, these four titans will now battle for just two semi-final spots, ensuring that at least two of the tournament's most dominant sides will be eliminated early.

Group 2, meanwhile, houses the remaining four qualifiers: Pakistan, Sri Lanka, England, and New Zealand. While this group is composed entirely of runners-up, it remains incredibly competitive, featuring three former T20 World Cup champions. To avoid logistical hurdles, all Group 2 matches will be held in Sri Lanka, while Group 1 fixtures are spread across major Indian venues like Ahmedabad, Mumbai, and Kolkata.
