Table

[edit]
  • 12 points for a win
  • 6 points to side still batting in the fourth innings of a match in which scores finish level
  • 2 points for first innings lead
  • 2 bonus points for side leading on first innings if they also score faster on runs per over in first innings
  • If no play possible on the first two days, and the match does not go into the second innings, the side leading on first innings scores 8 points.
  • Teams played either 28 or 32 matches. Therefore, a final average was calculated by dividing the points by the matches played which determined the final placings.[2]
