What Are the Tiebreaker Rules?
If two or more teams finish level on points at the end of the tournament, specific tiebreaker criteria determine the final standings. The hierarchy follows standard ICC tournament protocol.
Tiebreaker Order:
- Number of Wins — Team with more wins ranks higher
- Net Run Rate (NRR) — Calculated across all matches played
- Head to Head Record — Direct match result between tied teams
- Higher Position on ICC T20I Rankings — As of tournament start
Net Run Rate Formula: NRR = (Total runs scored ÷ Total overs faced) − (Total runs conceded ÷ Total overs bowled)
Results table will continue through all 20 matches until May 1.
