The Super Six stage will feature two groups, each comprised of six teams. These groups will consist of the top three teams from Groups A and D combined, as well as the top three teams from Groups B and C combined. Each team will carry forward the points, wins, and net run rate (NRR) they earned against the other Super Six qualifying teams.

During the Super Six stage, each team will play two fixtures against opponents from the corresponding group who finished in different positions during the group stage. For instance, the top team in Group A (A1) will face off against the teams placed second and third in Group D (D2 and D3).

Following the conclusion of these fixtures, the top two teams from each Super Six group will qualify for the semi-final stage. The winners of the semi-finals will compete in the final, which is scheduled for February 4, 2024.
