As per the playing conditions announced by ICC for the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier in June/July in Zimbabwe, the following shall be the determining factor in breaking ties for teams who finish on equal points at the conclusion of the group stage and Super Six stage.
Group Stage
In the event of teams finishing on equal points in their Group, the right to progress to the Super Six stage of the competition will be decided in the following order of priority:
a) The team with the greatest number of wins in its Group will be placed in the higher position.
b) 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 to
clause 16.10.9 below for the calculation of net run rate).
c) If two or more teams are still equal, they will be ordered according to the head to head match played between them (points then net run rate in those matches).
d) If the above does not resolve the Group ordering, or if all matches within a Group produce no results, then any tied teams will be ordered as per their original Group Stage seedings and the top 3 teams in each Group will progress to the Super Six stage.
Super Six
In the event of teams finishing on equal points in the Super Six stage, the right to progress to the Final will be decided in the following order of priority:
a) The team with the greatest number of wins in all of the matches throughout the competition
against the other Super Six stage qualifiers will be placed in the higher position.
b) If there are teams with equal points and equal wins in the Super Six stage, then in such case the
team with the higher net run rate in all matches played against the other Super Six qualifiers will
be placed in the higher position (refer to clause 16.10.9 below for the calculation of net run rate).
c) If two or more teams are still equal, they will be ordered according to the head-to-head match(es)
played between them (points then net run rate in those matches).
d) If still equal, any teams that cannot be separated in this way shall be placed according to their original Group seeding.
e) If the above does not resolve the Super Six stage ordering, or if all matches within the Super Six stage produce no results, then the order of finishing will be determined by the team’s performances in the Group stage as follows: Group standing, most points, most wins. If still equal, any teams that cannot be separated in this way shall be placed according to their original Group ranking (1-10).
In the event of a playoff ranking match being tied the teams shall compete in a Super Over to determine the winner.
If following a tie, weather conditions prevent the Super Over from being completed, or if the match
is a no result or abandoned, the progression or order of finishing will be determined by the team’s
performances in the Group stage as follows: Group standing, most points, most wins, highest net
run rate. If still equal, any teams that cannot be separated in this way shall be placed according to
their original Group seeding.
Final
a) In the event of a tied final, the teams shall compete in a Super Over to determine which team is the winner.
b) If following a tie, weather conditions prevent the Super Over from being completed, or if the
match is abandoned or a no result, the competition winner shall be the team that finished in the
higher position in the Super Six stage.
