Competition mode

Five teams were drawn into each of the two preliminary round groups, in which everyone played a game against everyone. There were two points for the winning team, none for the losing team. If no winner could be determined (for example due to the rain breaking off), 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 qualified for the semi-finals, with the net run rate being decisive in the event of a tie . The two winners of the semifinals then played the final.

Squad lists

The teams named the following squads for the tournament. England named their squad on October 4th, Sri Lanka on October 19th, Pakistan on October 29th, and South Africa on November 2nd.
