A misunderstanding

I guess there's been a gross misunderstanding of the schedule.
This is how group was written in ICC official site.
Group A Group B Group C Group D
1 Aus (1) SL (2) NZ (3) Pak (4)
2 SA (5) IN (8) ENG (7) WI (6)
3 SCOT(12) BEN(11) KEN(10) ZIM (9)
4 NE(16) BER (15) CA (14) IL (13)
Well we all know what the numbers on the bracket means. But it is the number on the left, 1, 2, 3 and 4 that lead to this horrendous mistake. The author literally took that number into consideration as the real ranking for super eights.
In that way, the super eight match D1 Vs B2 becomes PAK Vs IND and the match is indeed on Sunday.
A1 vs B2 become AUS vs IND!
This is called the "new age portal journalism" which means make money by selling ignorance and idiocy! And boy, they are proud of doing just that!
This is my first comment on this site, couldnt resist it and I wish this to be my last one too.
