India qualified for Super 8s by finishing top of Group A in the first round, however, their entry into Group 1 for the second round of the tournament was a given due to the pre-determined seeding. India were seeded A1. This means even if they qualified as their group’s second-best team, they would still have been placed in Group 1.
Pakistan were given A2 seeding but because they were knocked out, USA, the second team to qualify from Group A, took the A2 seeding and are now part of Group 2 in Super 8s.
