Points system:

In the event of teams finishing on equal points, the right to play in the final match or series was determined as follows:

• The team with the highest number of wins
• If still equal, the team with the highest number of wins over the other team(s) 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

In a match declared as no result, run rate is not applicable.

Won (W): 2

Lost (L): 0

No result (NR): 1

Tie (T): 1

• Net run rate (NRR): Runs per over scored less runs per over conceded, adjusting team batting first to overs of team batting second in rain rule matches, adjusting to team's full allocation if all out, and ignoring no result matches.
