The top three teams (*) in each group after the preliminary round-robin series advance to the Super Six Round. The top four teams from the Super Six then advance to the semifinal round. NR denotes any contest that ends with “no result,” commonly due to rain. Net RR refers to a team's “net run rate.” Two points are awarded for a win, one for a tie and one for a NR.
