Rules and Regulations
During the group stage and Super Eight, points were awarded to the teams as follows:
| Results | Points |
|---|---|
| Win | 2 points |
| No Result | 1 point |
| Loss | 0 points |
In case of a tie (i.e. both teams score exactly the same number of runs at the end of their respective innings), a bowl-out decided the winner. This was applicable in all stages of the tournament. The bowl-out was used to determine the result of only 1 game in this tournament - the Group D game between India and Pakistan on 14 September (scorecard).
Within each group (both group stage & Super Eight stage), teams were ranked against each other based on the following criteria:
- Higher number of points
- If equal, higher number of wins
- If still equal, higher net run rate
- If still equal, lower bowling strike rate
- If still equal, result of head to head meeting.

Famous quotes containing the words rules and/or regulations:
“Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. Law, by definition, cannot obey the same rules as nature.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The admission of Oriental immigrants who cannot be amalgamated with our people has been made the subject either of prohibitory clauses in our treaties and statutes or of strict administrative regulations secured by diplomatic negotiations. I sincerely hope that we may continue to minimize the evils likely to arise from such immigration without unnecessary friction and by mutual concessions between self-respecting governments.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
