Final standings
Two groups of 4 teams, single round-robin within each group (6 matches per group) — the top 2 from each group advanced directly to the semi-finals; there was no quarter-final stage. A win was worth 4 points and a no-result 2 points; ties on points were broken by Net Run Rate (recorded per team, not independently recomputed here).
