Following the group stage fixtures, Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa had all qualified for the Super League quarter-final stage of the tournament. The other eight teams moved to the Plate League to determine their final placements in the competition.^[6][7][8][9] Sri Lanka went on to win the Plate League, giving them a final position of ninth overall in the tournament.^[10]

In the first Super League semi-final, Australia beat Afghanistan by 6 wickets to progress to the final.^[11] In the second semi-final, India beat Pakistan by 203 runs to advance into the final.^[12] In the third-place playoff, no play was possible due to rain and a wet outfield.
