The 16 teams are categorised into groups of four and will compete against each team in their group once.
The Super Six League stage featured the top three teams from each group. Teams from Group A will play against two qualifying teams from Group D, and teams from Group B will play against two teams from Group C. Teams tied to the same position in the initial group will not face each other in Super 6s.
