Pre-Seeding System for Super Eight
The ICC assigned pre-seeds to top teams for clarity. Each team keeps its fixed label even if it finishes second in the group stage. If a seeded team fails to qualify, the team that replaces it inherits the seed and schedule. This system helps fans plan tickets and broadcasters organise matches.
