New Zealand won the tournament, defeating India by 6 wickets in the final in Harare.
The sides played each other in a double round robin, meaning that each side played four matches, for a total of six matches.
A win was worth five points, and a loss zero – however, if the winning team had a run rate (i.e. runs hit per over) higher than 1.25 times that of the opponent, a bonus point was awarded to the winning side, if not it went to the losing side.
In the event of a tie or a no-result, each side was to be awarded three points.
The top two teams on points went through to the one-match final.
