So for instance Australia are B1, whether they qualify first or second in their group they're still B1 and will still be in this Group F.
Here is the list:
Group A: Bangladesh, South Africa (A1), West Indies (A2)
Group B: England (B2), Australia (B1), Zimbabwe
Group C: New Zealand (C1), Sri Lanka (C2), Kenya
Group D: India (D2), Pakistan (D1), Scotland
So basically Group F is expected to be WI, Australia, SL, Pakistan and Group E is expected to be SA, England, NZ and India.

Thanks for that....I will change/Edit my post .
But don't you think Its a bit ridiculous of the ICC to fix things like that....It eliminates the Surprise element the thrill of the variation that could be brought on by an upset result etc...Just my personal opinion.
