I'm not sure what the schedule is like but the A1, A2, B1, B2, etc... organizations are based on pre-tournament rankings. The only reminder of the group stage is the 2 points which are carried forward. So, in a hypothetical parallel universe where India had won all their games, they would still be B2, because Sri Lanka was seeded above them.
