The team with the more wins in the Group stage will be placed in the higher position.
1. If there are teams with equal points and equal wins in the Group stage then in such case the team with the higher net run rate in the Group stage will be placed in the higher position (refer below for the calculation of net run rate).
2. If still equal, the team which was the winner of the head to head match played between them will be placed in the higher position.
3. In the highly unlikely event that teams cannot be separated by the above this will be done by drawing lots.
