As per the IPL 2024 format, the teams will play other sides from the same group once and from the other group twice (home and away). Despite virtual groups, all the teams will be placed under a common points table. To limit the number of matches, a virtual group system has been introduced ever since the introduction of two new teams in the IPL. The winner of the match will get two points. In case there is no result due to weather or other circumstances, the two teams will get a point each. In case of a tie match, a Super Over will be played and the winner of the Super Over will get two points. A side with superior NRR will take the higher rank if teams are tied on points.
