Points System
From the 2010–11 season, the match points will include one point for a first innings lead, and four points for a win; with five points if a team leads at the first innings and subsequently wins.
Previously, points were awarded as follows:
- 4 points for a win
- 2 points for a no-result or a tie
- 0 points for a loss
- 1 bonus point if a team achieves a run rate 1.25 times that of the opposition
- 2 bonus points if a team achieves a run rate twice that of the opposition
The top two teams at the end of the pool matches play-off in the final. The higher-placed team has the home ground advantage.

Famous quotes containing the words points and/or system:
“It’s my feeling that God lends you your children until they’re about eighteen years old. If you haven’t made your points with them by then, it’s too late.”
—Betty Ford (b. 1918)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
