IPL Points Table Rules
Each team will aim to consolidate their position in the top four spots on the IPL points table to make it to the semi-finals. Also, teams will target the top two table slots to get two shots at the IPL Final.
IPL teams are ranked basis the number of points they score. A team gets 2 points for each win and 1 point if the match is abandoned or ends abruptly. The losing team gets 0 points. If teams have an equal number of points, the team with a higher Net Run Rate (NRR) moves up the IPL Points Table. Often, a few teams are tied on the points table and NRR plays a crucial role in deciding the fortunes of a team.
NRR Calculation
The Net Run Rate in a tournament is the average runs per over that a team scores across the whole tournament, minus the average runs per over that is scored against them across the whole tournament.
