Dhaka, Oct. 1 -- Bangladesh will play against England, South Africa, New Zealand and Sri Lanka in Group B at the 2027 ODI World Cup.

The International Cricket Council finalised the groups for the tournament on Thursday, with one more team to join Bangladesh's group after the qualifying competition.

Group A, meanwhile, brings cricket's fiercest rivalry into the same pool, with India and Pakistan set to face each other alongside Australia, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe.

Another qualifier will complete that group.

South Africa and Zimbabwe qualified directly as co-hosts, while the other top eight teams in the rankings also secured automatic places. Namibia, the third host, will have to go through the qualifiers as it is not an ICC Full Member...
