CCL format

CCL follows a round-robin format, where each team plays each other before moving on to the knockout phases, which includes two semifinals. Also, the Celebrity Cricket League adopted a new tournament format in 2023, bringing a structure similar to Test cricket. This format features four innings, where each team plays two innings of 10 overs each. If Team A wins the toss and elects to bat first, Team B gets the opportunity to chase the target set in the first innings. Following this, Team A bats again, and Team B must then chase the combined total from both of Team A's innings to secure victory.
