Team names for the Super Eight stage are indicative based on the top two teams from the Group Stage qualifying.
If these two teams do qualify they will be seeded in position 1 or 2 as specified regardless of whether they finish first
or second in their group.For example, if South Africa wins Group A and Australia comes second, for the purposes of
the Super Eights, South Africa will still be A2 and Australia will be A1. If, for example, Scotland qualifies instead of
Australia, Scotland will become A1
