Points table & Winners list : Tri series in Australia

Filed under CB Tri-series 2008

Since 1979, Australia host a tri-nation one day tournament involving home team, and two visiting teams. I'll include a winners list of all Triseries in Australia over the years or see all info list on current CB-Tri-Series-Ind-V-Aus-V-SL.jpg (2008 triseries between India, Srilanka with Australia) but first - we start with the points system of these annual tri-series been played in Australia. Every year, this points table become utterly important as we come close to last few of this 12 league match tournament which has a best of 3 final (winner) system.

*Win with bonus = 5 points.
*Win without bonus = 4 points.
*Tie or no result = 2 points each.
*Loss = 0 points.

What is win with bonus points? Well, consider a team is chasing a target of 250 in 50 overs but finishes the match inside 40 overs - they win at a runrate of 250/40 = 6.25 runs per over. Exactly 1.25 times more than their opposition.. so, they take a bonus point.

Conversely - If a team chasing 250 in 50 overs is bowled out for less than 200 = runrare of 1.25 times less than the target they were initially given - they conceed bonus point to their opposition.

*If two teams finish with equal number of points after all their league matches are finished : how will reach the final will be determined by following list of rules..

*Team with most number of wins, qualifies for final.
*If equal, team with most number of wins against the team they are tied with goes through to final.
*If still equal, team which has won more number of Bonus Points in league matches moves ahead.
*If still equal, team with better Net-Run-Rate would move into the finals of this Triseries in Australia.

Team Pld Wins Loss NR Bonus Points Net Run Rate
Australia 6 4 1 1 4 21 1035/250-688/225 = +1.087
India 6 2 2 2 0 12 705/166-754/169 = -0.215
Srilanka 6 1 4 1 0 6 767/199-1065/220 = -0.973

Note : Points table above was updated on 22th February after [Australia vs Srilanka] Match 9. see full schedule & results list of this triseries so far.

How is Net Run Rate Calculate>?
*Add all the runs made by your team in all league matches.
*divide it by the sum of all overs they played in league matches
This is your Identity 1.
Now,
*Add all the runs made by opposition against your team.
*divide all the sum of all overs opposition played against your team.
This is your Identity 2.

Now : subtract Identity 2 from Identity 1 and you've net run rate (NRR) of your team! Note that is a match yields a no result - no run rate is calculated off that match.
