16 teams are divided into four groups, namely Group A, B, C, D. The top three teams from each group advance to the Super Six stage. The fourth-placed teams in Group A and D face each other while the fourth-placed teams in Group B and C face each other in the placement stage.

In the super-six stage top three teams from Group A and D are combined in a group while top three teams from Group B and C combined in another group. Each team carries forward the number of points, wins, NRR they have earned against their fellow super-six qualifying teams.
