How Points and Net Run Rate Work
Based on the 2024 and 2025 tables, a win earns 2 points, a no-result earns 1 and a loss earns 0. When teams finish level, net run rate (NRR) decides the order. In a six-over game, one big over can swing NRR sharply, so chasing quickly matters almost as much as winning.
Qualification: Cup, Plate and Bowl
Nobody is eliminated. Your finishing position in the group decides which trophy you play for.
| Group Finish | Competition | Semi-finals (31 Oct) |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Cup | A1 vs C1, B1 vs D1 |
| 2nd | Plate | B2 vs D2, A2 vs C2 |
| 3rd | Bowl | B3 vs D3, A3 vs C3 |
The finals and the 3rd, 7th and 11th place play-offs follow on 1 November.

England, Scotland and Oman captains were not listed in my sources. Some previews name Nepal and Kuwait instead of Scotland and Oman, so confirm the final field on the official site.
The key rules: six players a side, six overs an innings, every fielder except the keeper bowls, batters retire not out at 50, and wides and no-balls cost a run plus an extra ball.
Conclusion
The Hong Kong Sixes 2026 points table is short, fast-moving and unforgiving, because only two group games decide whether a team plays for the Cup, Plate or Bowl.
Pakistan lead Group C after beating India, and every other pool is wide open. Keep an eye on net run rate, since it will settle most ties. Bookmark the live table page, and check back before Sunday’s finals.
