During the group stage, teams were divided into two groups of five teams. The top two teams in each group qualified for the semi-finals.
Teams The following teams qualified for the final stages of the competition:
Squads Eight players were originally nominated for two squads and were allowed to decide which team they would play for, in each case choosing their Indian Premier League team.
