Points allocation
Win: 2 points Tie: 1 point NR (No Result): 1 point The top 4 teams from each pool make it to the quarter finals. But, what happens when 2 or more teams have the same points?- If there are teams that have the same number of points, then the team having higher number of wins will be placed up the table.
- In case they have the same wins, the team having higher NRR (Net Run Rate) will be placed higher on the table.
- In rare cases, teams are evaluated on head to head matches with each other, the one having greater number of wins is placed higher on the table.
