South Africa, New Zealand, and Afghanistan are all in one group.
One of these top-tier teams will likely be eliminated before the Super 8s.
Afghanistan has the edge in spin (Rashid/Noor), which is key in Asian conditions.
New Zealand is known for punching above their weight in ICC events.
South Africa, the 2024 runners-up, face a tough road to redemption.
This group has the highest potential for a major team crashing out early.
