Rules and regulations

The tournament is divided into a group stage and a knockout stage. In the group stage, teams face each other in a double round-robin tournament. At the end of the group stage, the top team qualifies for the final. The teams in second and third take part in a play-off match with the winners contesting the final. If a match in the knockout stage ends with a tie, a Super Over will determine the winner.
Points were awarded as follows in the group stage:

Result	Points
Win, with bonus point	5 points
Win, without bonus point	4 points
Tie	3 points
No result	2 points
Loss	0 points

The team that achieves a run rate of 1.25 times that of the opposition shall be rewarded one bonus point.
A team's run rate will be calculated by reference to the runs scored in an innings divided by the number of overs faced.
Points are deducted for slow over rate at 1 point per over not completed within the allotted 90 minutes.

In the event of teams finishing on equal points, the right to play in the semi-finals will be determined in the following order of priority:

The team with the most wins;
If still equal, the team with the most wins over the other team who are equal on points and have the same number of wins;
If still equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points;
If still equal, the team with the highest net run rate;
The team with the higher runs to wickets ratio throughout the series.
