Table

12 points for a win
6 points to team still batting in the fourth innings of a match in which scores finish level
2 points for first innings lead
2 bonus points for team 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 team 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.^[3]
