Competition format
In the one day tournament, teams played each other twice in a round-robin format, with the winners of the group winning the tournament. Matches were played using a one day format with 50 overs per side.
The group worked on a points system with positions within the divisions being based on the total points. Points were awarded as follows:[1]
Win: 15 points.
Tie: 6 points.
Loss: 0 points.
Bonus Points: Up to 5 points available to the winning team.
The Twenty20 competition reverted to the 2004 format, involving two semi-finals, with the winners progressing to a Final and the losers playing in a third-place play-off.[2]
