Group Matches: 

Win= 2 Points, Tie/No-Result= 1 point to each time, Loss= 0 Point

Top four teams(with most points) from each group, Group A & B, will qualify for Quarter Final.
- If teams are tied on Points then team with Most Wins will be placed in the higher position.

- If still equal then team with better Net Run Rate will be placed in the higher position. 

- If still equal then the team with higher Number of Wickets taken per balls bowled will be placed in the higher position. 

- If still equal then the team was the winner of the Head to Head match played between them will be placed in the higher position, if there is no possibility of separating teams then itwill be done by drawing lots.

Quarter Finals:

If Quarter Final is tied then there will be “One over eliminator”, winner of that one over eliminator will qualify for Semi final.

If match is no-result or  if following a tie weather doesn’t allow one over eliminator then the team with higher position in the Group stage shall proceed to the semi-finals. 

Semi Finals:

If Semi Final is tied then there will be “One over eliminator”, winner of that one over eliminator will qualify for Final.

If match is no-result or  if following a tie weather doesn’t allow one over eliminator then the team with higher position in the Group stage shall proceed to the semi-finals. 

Final: 

If Final is tied then there will be “One over eliminator”, winner of that one over eliminator will be Winner of World Cup.

If Match is no-result, and weather permits, then teams will compete “One over eliminator” . If weather conditions don’t permit then both teams will be declared joint winners.

Home Teams will get preference in Quarters and Semis. 

No matter, where the home team in finished in group stage, home team will play the Quarter Final as well as Semi Final, if qualify, at their home venue. For example, according to current schedule Quarter Final of A3 and B2 is in Dhaka but lets say India becomes B2 and Pakistan becomes A3 then this match will be not be played in Dhaka but in Ahmadabad(which is home venue of India).

If Srilanka and India get a Quarter Final or Semi Final against each other then this match will be played in India because India's ranking was better than Srilanka when groups were made. Similarly, if Srilanka and Bangladesh get a Quarter final or Semi Final then this match will be played in Srilanka. In short, India will play all of their knock-out matches in India.

This means that final venues of Quarter Finals will not be decided till the last match of Group Stage, which is between India and West Indies, is played.

Miscellaneous:  

- UDRS(Umpire Decision Referral System) will be used in all matches of World Cup. However, Hot Spot technology will not be used. UDRS will include; Hawk-eye, Ultra Motion or Slow Motion camera, stump microphone.
