Hi, if you cannot find any data/map specific for your area of interest, you may use data from HWSD (FAO, 2012). You will find polygons containing a mix of several soil textures. For each soil texture you may know your average saturated hydraulic conductivity (which is equal to your maximum soil infiltration rate). You will make a weighted mean to come to a mean saturated hydraulic conductivity for each polygon. Based on this mean saturated hydraulic conductivity you will know their hydrologic soil group.
