In sports tournaments, a points table is a visual representation of the standings of all the participating teams. The table typically lists each team's name, the number of matches played, the number of matches won, the number of matches lost, and the number of matches tied. The table also shows the total points earned by each team, which is calculated based on the number of matches won, lost, or tied.
In the context of the Women's Premier League (WPL), the points table is used to track the performance of the participating teams throughout the tournament. The WPL is a domestic women's cricket league in India that features six teams from different regions of the country.
Each team plays a total of ten matches in the league phase of the tournament. The top four teams in the points table at the end of the league phase qualify for the knockout stage of the tournament.
The points system used in the WPL is as follows:
Two points for a win
One point for a tie or no result
Zero points for a loss
The net run rate (NRR) is used as a tiebreaker in case two or more teams have the same number of points. The team with the higher NRR is ranked higher in the points table.
The points table is updated after every match, and fans can follow the progress of their favorite teams and players as the tournament progresses.
