Now, same schedule you can see in Pictorial form (compressed form),

Note:

• D/N means Day-Night match, and it will start at 2:30 PM IST, that is 14:30 IST
• All Day matches will start at 9:00 AM IST.
• IST = GMT + 5:30
• Bengaluru and Bangalore indicate same city (Bengaluru is alias/pet name for Bangalore or you can say it is vice-versa). So, don't get confuse when somebody says you that match is in Bengaluru but not in Bangalore.

Observations:

• All the knockout round matches are day-nighters.
• The only team common in the first and the last match of the group stages matches is India !
• The Knockout round matches is based on points table, which I've shown below and explained about it briefly.
• The matches in quarterfinals are scheduled by seeing the Points table, that is the top team in one group will play against the bottom team in the points table from the other group and vice-versa. (This statement is valid only for the teams which qualified for knockout round).

The Points table for the group stage matches is as follows,
Group-A Points Table :

Group-B Points Table :

 

Note:

1. Based on the points table the teams qualify for the next round, that is knockout round in this tournament. The top 4 teams from each group (background colored in green) advanced into Quarter finals to fight the battle on cricket field to be the World champions in Cricket world !
2. In Table you could see some symbols and abbreviations, those are explained below,
   
   • Pld means number of matches a team played in group stage
   • W means number of matches a team win/won in group stage
   • L means number of matches a team Lost/lose in group stage
   • T means number of matches a team tied/draw in group stage
   • NR means number of matches a team playing doesn't yield any result/abandoned in group stage. For example, Sri Lanka and Australia has number 1 placed under this column as one of there match was abandoned, that is that match didn't have any result.
   • NRR means Net run rate of a team, and it is one of the main factors to decide teams fate. It calculated based on the team performance and the way they won the matches against there opponent.
   • Pts means points. A team is awarded 2 points for winning a match to the winning team, and in case if tie/draw/no result/abandoned 1 point is awarded to both the teams. It is the most important factor for a team to advance.
3. Points are given higher priority over anything for a team to advance into next round (that is, it has more importance than any other column in the table), and if points are equal then NRR has the priority (that is, it is the second most important factor to advance into next round). For example, If team A has points=6, NRR=1.456 and Team B has points=6, NRR=1.546 then Team B is placed higher in the table.
