This from the ICC Playing Conditions
The first round of the competition will be the Group Matches.
Each team will play every other team in its group. Points will be allocated for each match in accordance with the
system described in clauses 21.9 and 21.10 of these playing conditions, which will apply throughout the competition.
21.9 Points
The following point system will apply:
Win 4
Tie or no result 2
Loss 0
21.9.1 Group Matches
In the event of teams finishing on equal points in either Group, the right to play in the Super Six stage will be
decided in the following order of priority:
? The most wins in the group matches.
? When two teams have both equal points and equal wins, the team which was the winner of the Group
Match played between them will be placed in the higher position.
When more than two teams have equal points and equal wins, the team which was the winner of most
number of matches played between those teams will be placed in the higher position.
? If still equal, the team with the higher net run rate in the group matches will be placed in the higher
position (refer to 21.9.5 below for the calculation of net run rate).
? If still equal, the team with the higher number of wickets taken per balls bowled in the Group Matches
in which results were achieved will be placed in the higher position.
? In the highly unlikely event that teams cannot be separated by the above this will be done by drawing
lots.
21.9.2 Super Six Matches
The six teams that qualify for the Super Six phase carry forward the points that they have gained in the
Group Matches as follows:
? Win v other qualifiers - 4 points each (Tie or no result ? 2 points each)
? Win v non-qualifiers - 1 point each (Tie or no result ? ? point each)
The points carried forward by each team are added to those they gain in the Super Six Matches, to form the
Super Six league table.
In the event of teams finishing on equal points at the end of the Super Six stage, the right to play in the Semifinal
will be decided in the following order of priority:
? The most wins in all of the matches throughout the competition against the other Super Six qualifiers.
? When two teams have both equal points and equal wins, the team which was the winner of the matched
played between them (in either the Group or Super Six Matches) will be placed in the higher position.

When more than two teams have equal points and equal wins, the team which was the winner of the
most number of matches played between those teams (in both the Group and Super Six Matches) will be
placed in the higher position.
? If still equal, the team with the higher net run rate in all matches played against the other Super Six
qualifiers (in both the Group and Super Six Matches) will be placed in the higher position (refer to
21.9.5 below for calculation of net run rate).
? If still equal, the team with the higher number of wickets taken per balls bowled in all of the matches
throughout the competition against the other Super Six qualifiers in which results were achieved, will
be placed in the higher position.
? In the highly unlikely event that teams cannot be separated by the above this will be done by drawing
lots.
21.9.3 Semi Final
If a Semi-final is tied or there is a no result, the team that finished higher at the end of the Super Six phase as
decided by clause 21.9.2 shall proceed to the Final.
21.9.4 Final
In the event of a tied Final or if there is no result in the three days allocated, the World Cup and prize money
will be shared by the finalists.
21.9.5 Net Run Rate
For the purpose of 21.9.1 above, a team?s net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per
over scored by that team throughout the group matches, the average runs per over scored against that team
throughout the group matches.
For the purpose of 21.9.2 above, a team?s net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per
over scored by that team in all matches played against the Super Six qualifiers, the average runs per over
scored against that team in all such matches.
In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its net run rate shall
be based on the full quota of overs to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in
which the team was dismissed.
Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of net run rate calculations. Where
a match is abandoned, but a result is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis, for net run rate purposes Team 1 will
be accredited with Team 2?s Par Score on abandonment off the same number of overs faced by Team 2.
Where a match is concluded but with Duckworth/Lewis having been applied at an earlier point in the match,
Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less that the final Target Score for Team 2 off the total number of overs
allocated to Team 2 to reach the target.
