Asia Cup 2023: How Point System and Net Run Rate is Calculated
The journey to secure a spot in the Super 4s and ultimately reach the final will be contingent on the accumulation of points throughout the tournament. The six participating teams have been divided into two groups of three for the initial stage. Group A comprises India, Pakistan, and Nepal, while Group B features Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.
In this points-based system, teams will be awarded 2 points for a victory and will receive zero points for a loss. In the event of a tie, both teams will be granted 1 point each. The points table will also incorporate a tiebreaker mechanism, known as net run rate, which will come into play when teams find themselves level on the same point tally, ensuring a fair determination of standings.
