However, the first round of the competition will see the 12th, 13th, and 14th ranked teams compete in a ‘super series’, and one of them will qualify for the group stage, which will have 12 teams. In the second round, they will be divided into two groups of six teams each. From this, the top three teams in both groups as well as the best-ranked fourth-placed team, will qualify for the next round. Across the two groups, the second stage will have 30 matches.
