Question

In the table below is the listing of Teams, seeded from highest (#1) to lowest (#16), who are due to play in an Association of Cricket tournament. This tournament has three knockout rounds before the final, i.e., first round, Quarter-finals, and semi-finals. In the first round, the highest seeded team plays the lowest seeded team (seed#16) which is designated match No. 1 of first round; the 2nd seeded team plays with the 15th seeded team which is designated match No. 2 of the first round, and so on. Thus, for instance, match No. 8 of first round is to be played between 8th seeded team and the 9th seeded team. In the second round, the winner of match No. 1 of first round plays the winner of match No. 8 of first round and is designated match No. 1 of second round. Similarly, the winner of match No. 2 of first round plays the winner of match No. 7 of first round, and is designated match No. 2 of second round. Thus, for instance, match No. 4 of the second round is to be played between the winner of match No. 4 of first round and the winner of match No. 5 of first round. The same pattern is followed for later rounds as well.


i) If, in the first round, all even numbered matches (and none of the odd numbered ones) result in upsets, and there are no upsets in the second round, then which team facing South-Africa in semi-finals?
