How do 6 teams play in a cricket knockout tournament?
As far as i have seen cricket, there is a series of league matches followed by knockouts.
The sequence goes like this
1. If 2 Pools, Pool A and Pool B is made consisting of 3 teams each.
#Considering Pool A has teams Team 1, Team 2, Team 3.
#Now 3 teams in Pool A play either one/two matches against each opponent in a round robin style, that is
Team 1 vs Team 2
Team 2 vs Team 3
Team 3 vs Team 1
Team 1 vs Team 2
Team 2 vs Team 3
Team 3 vs Team 1
#So after 6 matches top 2 teams from Pool A qualify, lets say Team 1 & Team 2 qualify 1st and 2nd in Pool A.
______________________________________________________
#Considering Pool B has teams Team 4, Team 5, Team 6.
#Now 3 teams in Pool B play either one/two matches against each opponent in a round robin style, that is
Team 4 vs Team 5
Team 5 vs Team 6
Team 6 vs Team 4
Team 4 vs Team 5
Team 5 vs Team 6
Team 6 vs Team 4
#So after 6 matches top 2 teams from Pool B qualify, lets say Team 4 & Team 5 qualify 1st and 2nd in Pool B.
______________________________________________________
#Now for knockouts(semifinals)
Winner 1 : Pool A(1st) vs Pool B(2nd) : Team 1 vs Team 5
Winner 2 : Pool A(2nd) vs Pool B(1st) : Team 2 vs Team
______________________________________________________
#Now the finals will be between
Winner 1 vs Winner 2

2. If no Pool is made.
#Considering all 6 teams in same group.
#Now all 6 teams play either one/two matches against each opponent in a round robin style, that is
Team 1 vs Team 2
Team 2 vs Team 3
Team 3 vs Team 4
Team 4 vs Team 5
Team 5 vs Team 6
Team 6 vs Team 1
Team 2 vs Team 4
Team 2 vs Team 5
Team 2 vs Team 6
Team 3 vs Team 1
Team 3 vs Team 5
Team 3 vs Team 6
Team 4 vs Team 1
Team 4 vs Team 2
Team 4 vs Team 6
Team 5 vs Team 1
Team 5 vs Team 2
Team 5 vs Team 3
Team 6 vs Team 2
Team 6 vs Team 3
Team 6 vs Team 4
#So after 21 matches top 4 teams qualify, lets say Team 1,2,3& Team 5 qualify 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th in Pool B.
______________________________________________________
#Now for knockouts(semifinals)
Winner 1 : (1st) vs (4th) : Team 1 vs Team 4
Winner 2 : (2nd) vs (3rd) : Team 2 vs Team 3
______________________________________________________
#Now the finals will be between
Winner 1 vs Winner 2
