India and Pakistan were eliminated due to the Wrong FORMAT of this tourment.There were 4 groups:each having 4 teams:Say A,B,C and D.Say A is the Best and D is the worst.Now A being the Best team of Group,will most probably qualify for Super 8,as it will be able to win 2 matches and the worst team D will most probably disqualify as it will lose 2 matches.
This leaves Team B and Team C.In the match between Team B and Team C,if the better team B is defeated,it is out of the Tourment.What I mean to explain is that even if a Team is better,only due to one bad match,it will be eliminated from the Tourment.
This exactly happened with India and Pakistan.Both teams are far far better than Bangla Desh and Ireland,but one defeat from a less beeter Team has caused them the Tourment.I mean to say that if all teams were required to play more matches before Super 8,the chances of Best 8 Teams reching super 8 were more.
Think and u are wellcome to post your comments.
