From Group-A and Group-B two teams will be qualified from each groups. The four teams will be played another qualified round each other and two teams will get pass for the final match.
All the matches will be held as a day-night match. Now it is the hot season in this area. May be this is the main cause to be held. According to GMT the match timetable will be 6:00. So a good number of cricket fans could miss the first innings who are living in the European Countries. Similarly the fans who are in the American continent will miss all the matches.
