Before going to the points table, it is worth to mention here the rules for the points table. Nothing has been changed in the points calculating rules at all.
PSL 2018 point system is entirely based on the point system of the ICC points awarding system where each team got the two points in case of winning a match and in the case of the draw; the super-over will decide the result.
Win = 2 Points, No Result = 1 point and Loss = 0 Points
In the table mentioned below the meaning of the following words or letters are:
M » Matches Played, W » Won, L » Lost, T » Tied, NR » No Result, P » Points, RR » Run Rate
The rules that will be applied to be qualified for the next stage
- Higher number of points
- If equal, higher number of wins
- If still equal, net run rate
- If still equal, lower bowling strike rate
- If still equal, the result of head to head meeting.
