I dunno about "important games" but basically the group stage of the tournament was a round robin format with every team playing every other team - Roger More Aug 8, 14:54 2
- I think Hotstar had broadcasting rights to everything, so all lost games hurt their bottom line. - David Aug 8, 14:57 1
  - Broadcasting rights in India and some other Asian markets (eg Sri Lanka, Bangladesh) as well as digital in the US and Canada. - Roger More Aug 8, 15:16
