But basically, this is how the groups shape up.

Group A:

Sri Lanka

Papua New Guinea

Ireland

Oman

Group B

Bangladesh

Netherlands

Namibia

Scotland

So excited for this tournament, cannot wait. I think that there is a lot of potential for upsets here. Bangladesh without Shakib will be a much weaker proposition, plus the Bellerive Oval pitch in Hobart, will suit the fantastic Dutch pace bowling attack!

Scotland will be a huge threat, whilst Namibia also have the potential to go big (Look out for Gerhard Erasmus, JJ Smit and Kotze).

Group A is also interestingly poised. I reckon Ireland can definitely upset Sri Lanka whilst PNG will be an unknown quantity for the Lankans also.

Of course, I would rather that these teams get the opportunity to play against the big boys rather than go through another round of what are essentially qualifiers; and the ICC needs to change + expand the current format. But, nevertheless, it will be exciting and hoping for some big upsets.

Who do you guys think will make the Super 12 out of these two groups?

Thanks, please share your thoughts below.
