The identities of A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D1 and D2 were pre-
decided according to seedings and were in place long before the group stage had
starts. So India Was A2 and England A1 no matter what position they finished in
as long as both qualified. Among other reasons, this helps travelling fans know
at which venue their team will play in the Super Eights. Had Afghanistan beat
both India and England and qualified first, they would have taken the identity
of the team that did not make it from Group A: A2 if India had failed to
qualify, and A1 had England been knocked out
