The winners of each group progressed directly to the quarter-finals, while the second-placed team in each group and the third-placed team with the best record across the five groups qualified for the preliminary quarter-finals.[4][5] The tournament was played in six cities across the country, with Indore, Jaipur, Lucknow, Mohali, and Rajkot hosting the group stage, and Kolkata hosting all of the knockout matches.[6]
