“The automatic qualifiers for the Super 12 stage were determined to be the winner and runner-up of the current T20 World Cup, alongside the next six highest ranking teams on the ICC Men’s T20I rankings at the cut-off date of November 15,” the ICC said.”On Saturday, the teams that will fill those spots were confirmed courtesy of West Indies’ loss to Australia, which means they will sit 10th by the cut-off date, with Bangladesh climbing to eighth,” it added.Going into Saturday’s action, the current top six teams on the rankings — England, Pakistan, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia — had already done enough to ensure they would not slide out of those positions in this tournament.
