For the quarter-finals, matches one to eight will be represented in a second phase of the draw and, again, the first ball drawn from the bowl will be home team.

The process will be repeated for the semi-finals with the four quarter-finals represented in four balls that will be drawn from a bowl. The nominal home team will be the first ball pulled from the pot.

For the final, two balls will be drawn from a bowl to confirm which semi-final will be designated as the nominal home team for the final in Switzerland.
