It is indeed true. India will play Pakistan on April 15th at barbados if both teams qualify for the super 8s. It is the match between B2 v D1. India will have the identity tag B2 irrespective of whether it finishes first or second in the group.
This actually a good system and while it might have been influenced by TV ratings, it also helps people to plan in advance if they are travelling to the caribbean to see the games.
For example if you want to see a couple of India games in super 8 stage u know which exactly india will play if it qualifies. This is good for the fan too. Nothing to cry about.
And the author's mistake, if any. was to make it sound like its a breaking news. It has been the case since the day tickets started selling and anyone trying to buy or have bought tickets for the games will know!
