Tournament Rules

The tournament has a group stage followed by a Final.

• The six teams are divided into two groups of three (Group A and Group B).
• In each group, every team plays the other two teams once (round robin).
• The group winner is the team with the most points in its group; teams level on points are separated by Net Run Rate.
• The winners of Group A and Group B play each other in the Final.
• The winner of the Final is the champion.

• Each innings is limited to the number of overs announced by the organisers.
• Standard laws of cricket apply unless stated otherwise in these rules.

• Win: 2 points
• Tie: 1 point
• No Result / Abandoned: 1 point
• Loss: 0 points

Teams level on points are separated by Net Run Rate (NRR).

• NRR = (total runs scored / total overs faced) - (total runs conceded / total overs bowled).
• A team bowled out is treated as having faced its full quota of overs.

• A wide or no ball adds three runs to the batting side and must be re-bowled.
• Runs scored off a no ball are credited to the batter.

• Default overs per innings: 6
• Players per side: 7
• Max overs per bowler: 2
• Wide penalty runs: 3
• No-ball penalty runs: 3
• Batting cap (runs): 20
• A batter on this score or more at the end of a legal delivery retires (not out). Retired batters return only when the side is otherwise all out.

The decision of the on-field umpires is final. Any dispute will be referred to the tournament committee.
