The top two teams in each group – A to D – will progress to the Super 8s, which will be made up of two groups of four.
If any teams are level on points after the four group-stage fixtures, they will be separated by number of wins and then net run-rate.
The International Cricket Council has pre-determined the Super 8 groups if the eight seeded sides qualify:
X Group: India (X1), Australia (X2), West Indies (X3), South Africa (X4)
Y Group: England (Y1), New Zealand (Y2), Pakistan (Y3), Sri Lanka (Y4)
If any of those sides do not progress, the teams who do in their place will just fill the spot.
Each team plays three more matches in the Super 8s phase, facing each of the other teams in their group once.
After those fixtures, the top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals, with the winner of each Super 8s group facing the runner-up from the other.
