On the contrary, we are there as the #8 and Aus is the #9 based on last WC's performance. So we are actually the higher ranked team.
The WC for T20 has been structured as follows:
Group A : #1 (Pak as defending champs), #8 (BD), #9 (AUS)
Group B : #2 (SL as runners up), #7 (NZ) , #10 (ZIM)
Group C : #3 (SA as better SF), #6 (IND), Q1 (Associates Champion)
Group D : #4 (WI as other SF), #5 (ENG), Q2 (Associates runners up)
BD got #8 because IRE is not an automatic qualifier. Also last year, we would have had ZIM in our group instead of IRE had England allowed ZIM to play.
