EXACTLY!!! I was also shocked to see this mistake. So I checked up the official website of ICC http://cricketworldcup.indya.com/scores/html/live/matchcast.htm

But there also the same mistake. The first match was to be A1 v/s D2. D2 is Ireland and not West Indies. I guess someone has goofed up. Folks this world cup is really crazee and mad. What kind of organisation? Or are these fellows high on Rum punch and beer?

Hi bhai..
This is correct. D2 is WI. which means any team that got into Super 8 other than those ranked 1 & 2 would take the rank of the team that got replaced. Not by points. This was a great rule propounded by ICC to schedule important matches conveniently!!
For Eg: they scheduled Ind v/s Pak on apr 15th Sunday. Now both the teams are out, so the match will be Bangladesh(replacing India for B2) v/s Ireland(replacing Pakis for D1)
Got it??
Cheers
