Understanding the Net Run-Rate (NRR)
The NRR is calculated by subtracting the average runs per over conceded by a team from the average runs per over scored by that team throughout the tournament. In the event of teams being tied on points at the end of the league stage, the NRR serves as the primary tiebreaker to determine the top four playoff qualifiers.
With 10 teams competing, finishing in the top two is particularly advantageous, as it grants franchises two opportunities to reach the final via the Qualifier 1 and Qualifier 2 system.
