The tournament rules state that tie-breakers for sides level on points shall be applied in the following order - most wins, teams achieving most wins in matches between other teams level on points (head-to-head), then highest Net Run Rate across the whole competition.[4] Scorchers and Dragons finished on the same number of points and wins, and each won one match against the other. Dragons finished with a superior Net Run Rate; however, the title was awarded to Scorchers.[5]
