The tournament sees the hosts India and 7 other top-ranked T20I teams qualify directly for the main Super 12s round. Out of the main list of teams, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh didn’t qualify for the Super 12s and instead will go through a qualifying first round.

The first round has 8 teams divided into two groups with Group A consisting of Ireland, Namibia, Netherlands, and Sri Lanka. Group B consists of Bangladesh, Oman, Papua New Guinea, and Scotland. The top two ranked teams in both groups will qualify for the main draw.
