The way this tournament has been scheduled and arranged, it seems like they want an India Pakistan final.
Now how will India reach in semis and then final? India will win all of the remaining matches and that too with big margins, New Zealand will be thrashed by Afghanistan (or Namibia), making a situation where India and Pakistan will qualify from this group. India play England in Semis whereas Pakistan against South Africa and then both the countries will play final, with India most probably lifting the cup.
Guys, remember, BCCI generates the 80% (or even more) revenue for ICC and if India goes out this early, almost all of the India will disconnect from the tournament. So keep some interest of Indians, this kind of schedule and arrangements are devised.
This is a possibility even though sounds a strong conspiracy theory.
