The top two teams in each group will proceed to the "Super 8"
stage. This will also use a league system. Each team will
carry forward its result against the qualifying team from its
own preliminary stage group, and will play the other six
qualifying teams once each. The top four teams in the league
will qualify for the semi-finals. This system has been
modified since the last World Cup, which had a "Super 6" stage
rather than a Super 8. The Super 8 stage matches will be
played from Wednesday 28 March until Saturday 21 April. A
total of 24 matches will be played in the Super 8 stage. All
matches will have one reserve day for the day after the
scheduled day of the match in the event of bad weather.
The top four teams in the "Super 8" will proceed to the
Semi-Finals. This is the knockout stage, with the #1 team
playing the #4 team, and the #2 team playing the #3 team in
the tournament. The winners of each game proceed into the
Final. Both matches have one reserve day for the day after the
scheduled day of the matches in the event of bad weather.
The final will have one reserve day for the day after the
scheduled day of the match in the event of bad weather.
