As in the group stage, a win in the Super Eights will award two points, while a defeat will result in no points.
If each team is tied at the end of 20 rounds, a super round will be played until the result is determined.
What if it rains in the Super Eights?
In the event of inclement weather, each team must play at least five rounds to be considered complete.
If a game is interrupted by rain, both teams will receive one point each.
