Table
Teams received 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie or no result, and 0 for a loss. The teams ranked two and three played each other at the home venue of the team ranked two, for the right to play the first placed team in a final at the venue of the first placed team. In the event of several teams finishing with the same number of points, standings were determined by most wins, then most wins among the teams concerned, then net run rate (NRR).[2]
