As the second round kicked off at the Under-19 Women’s Twenty20 World Cup in Malaysia, we take a look at how the teams are slotted in for this format, and who makes it through to the semi-finals.
For the second edition of the tournament, the group fixtures have been followed by a Super Six stage that will seal the four semi-finalists.
Out of the 16 teams that initially started the competition, 12 have progressed through after finishing in the top three places of the four groups.
The remaining sides have been split into two groups of six.
Each team will play two games in the Super Sixes.
The fixtures are decided based on where the teams finished in the group stage.
For instance, India, who topped Group A will face Bangladesh and Scotland, who finished second and third respectively in Group D.
Meanwhile Australia, who finished atop Group D will play Sri Lanka and West Indies - the second and third finishers in Group A.
Together, the six make up Group 1 of the Super Six.
Group 2 has been set up in similar fashion with top three finishers from Group B and Group C of the first round.
The 12 teams also carry forward the points they picked up from the group stage fixtures, but only the points collected from matches involving teams that also progressed.
So South Africa, who share Group 2 with Nigeria and New Zealand, take four points into the Super Six stage from their wins against those two teams in the group stages.
But South Africa's two points from their win over Samoa, who finished fourth in Group C and were eliminated, are not counted in the Super Six stage.
Bangladesh meanwhile, have two points prior to the Super Six after losing to Australia and beating Scotland in the group stage.
The young Tigresses resume their campaign in Kuala Lumpur against India Sunday morning at 12:30pm Bangladesh time.
At the end of two fixtures for each team, the top two sides from the two Super Six groups will proceed to the semi-finals.
The U-19 Women's T20 World Cup semi-finals will be played on January 31, while the final is scheduled for February 2 at Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur.
