competition

mode

Five teams were drawn into each of the two preliminary round groups, in which everyone played a game. There are two points for the winning team, none for the losing team. If no winner can be determined (for example due to the rain dropping out), both teams received one point each. If after the innings both teams have scored the same number of runs, a super over follows . After the preliminary round, the two best teams in both groups qualify for the semi-finals, with the net run rate being decisive in the event of a tie . The two winners of the semi-finals then play the final. The third and fourth placed in the preliminary round groups play the two teams in two qualifying games that qualify for the World Women's Twenty20 2016 in addition to the semi-finalists.
