|---|---|---|
| P | Played | Matches completed so far |

| NR | No result | Matches washed out or tied |
| Pts | Points | The total that sets the order |
| NRR | Net run rate | The usual tie-breaker between level teams |
Why net run rate matters late in a league
Near the end of a group stage several sides often sit on the same points. Then the margin of each win and loss decides who goes through. A side that wins with overs to spare lifts its figure; a heavy defeat drags it down.
The guide net run rate explained shows the sum with worked examples. To test a what-if for your own team, use the net run rate calculator.
Points table questions
How are teams ranked in a cricket points table?
First by points. When points are level, most competitions look at the number of wins and then at net run rate. The exact order of tie-breakers is set in each competition’s playing conditions.
How many points is a win worth?
In most T20 and one-day leagues a win is worth two points and a no result or tie gives each side one. First-class competitions often use larger numbers and add bonus points for batting and bowling.
What does NRR mean?
Net run rate. It is the average runs per over a team scores across the tournament, minus the average runs per over scored against it. A plus figure means the team scores faster than its opponents do.
Why does a series show no table?
A tour between two countries is decided by the series score, for example 2-1, not by points. Only competitions with several teams have a table.
