How come Afghanistan qualified for super 12 and not srilanka and bangla?

By the Cut off time only Top 8 will go in to Super 12 which SL & BAN missed out..

As of 31 December 2018, the top nine ranked ICC Full Members, alongside hosts India, qualified directly for the 2021 tournament. Of those ten teams, the top eight ranked sides qualified for the Super 12s stage of the tournament. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh did not qualify for the Super 12s, instead being placed in the group stage of the competition.
