Competition format

The seven departmental played each other in a round-robin format, therefore playing six matches. The tournament consisted of 22 matches, which were divided as seven rounds of league stage matches. The top two teams played each other in the final match. The league worked on a points system with positions being based on the total points. Before the start of the tournament, the PCB brought some changes to the playing conditions. According to it, all matches of the tournament were restricted to 80 overs in the first innings. Teams scoring 350 or more runs earned a batting bonus point, while a bonus point was awarded to the bowling side if they managed to dismiss the opponent within the stipulated 80 overs. If a captain decided to either declare or forfeit his team’s first innings before the completion of 80 overs, the bowling side got bowling bonus points.
