SL and BD have the perfect teams for not only the qualifiers but also for the group stage. In fact, I would go so far as to say that Banglabros have a much more settled squad than the likes of Pak, SA, etc.

'Settled squad' doesn't mean it's a 'perfect squad'. They just don't have many replaceable options that's it. Bangladesh have zero dynamic batters. Closest they have are Mahmudullah and Liton das. All others are kattar consolidators that make Kohli and Rohit look like Russel and Butler. But they're in easy group so should be in comfortably. 

 

SL's bowling is decent but their batting looks ordinary even for Asian conditions. They have gone back to freaking Chandimal. Will be very tight with Ire, Ned and Namibia (has some exciting players) in their group.

Netherlands can beat one of Ire/Sco to it. Other two are confirmed. My gut feeling says Stirling will slay one of the heavyweights in the Super 12.

@Norman can you provide updated schedule of Warm up games as well.   India was supposed to play Eng & Australia.  Now saw only Australia game listed somewhere?

Netherlands were defeated today in a warm up game by Scotland .

As Scotland is not in Group A Netherlands can only pip Ireland to it
